Is it common to get Spock eyebrows with Botox every single time you get it done? How common is this?

Spock eyebrows can happen repeatedly in those individuals that hop from injector to injector. If you stick with the same injector then adjustments can be made to prevent it from happening again. If you are having this problem every time with the same injector then it is likely that they are using the same cookie cutter approach every time. You may want to consider finding a more experienced physician injector. Best wishes.

I'm sorry you are having difficulty with your Botox treatment. While it's difficult to tell without pictures, it may be due to where the Botox was placed. I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist about your concerns. Hope this helps.

No, this isn't typical, but it may be due to placement. If you're unhappy with your Botox results, venus legacy treatments will give improvement. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Best, Dr. Emer

You should not be getting "Spock" eyebrows every time you have Botox.  I would say this can occasionally occur, but it should not happen every time.  The Botox injections can be placed to avoid this issue.  

Botox or botulinum toxin must be tailored to every different patient's anatomy and muscle pattern. Certainly "Spock" eyebrows can occur but can be accounted for and should not happen every time you get Botox.  Everyone's muscles in their forehead area can be treated so you avoid the "Spock" look and yet still have a nice relaxed unfrozen appearance. You might want to get a second opinion from a board certified facial plastic surgeon who has experience with Botox. Hope this helps you find a better solution to your problem.

This is a very common complication of Botox that can be easily fixed with a small touch-up. Going to the same place consistently to get your Botox gives your injector a chance to customize your treatments and learn exactly what works for you. Your injector should make a note of the touch-up and change her placement on your next treatment. If they are not customizing your treatments, you should shop for a place that will keep good records and get it right everytime.

Getting a “Dr Spock” eyebrow, or an overly raised or arched eyebrow, is not an uncommon occurrence following anti-wrinkle injections to the forehead. It happens when the injections are not placed laterally enough. The muscle in the middle of the forehead has been weakened and is unable to raise the eyebrows upwards, but the muscle at the edge of the eyebrows is still fully active and pulls the edges of the eyebrows upwards. To correct this you need a small number of units at the edge of the of the forehead muscles. It sometimes happens that after the first injections that a “correction” is needed. However, for this to happen every single time is unusual! I would advise that you discuss this with your injector, or perhaps find someone with more experience.

"Spock" eyebrows can result from Botox injections, but is easy to fix by injecting just a couple units to drop the raised brow.  If this is happening to you every time, then try consulting with a more experienced injector.

Dear HeyLaniMay:If you are having only frown lines treated and you are getting “Spock eyebrows” afterward, it may be that the Botox is being placed too high. If you are getting this problem when the forehead furrows are being treated, the injector needs to inject the more lateral forehead. This should be done with the first treatment, so I suggest you get. A second opinion from a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an advanced injector.All the best,   Dr. Clark

While everyone can have the occasional issue after Botox, it is not common to have the same issue every time.  Generally the injection method can be altered based on previous results.  I would recommend seeing an experienced physician injector, even if it costs a bit more.
