Why does the skin above my eyebrows look puffy when I raise them 10 days after Botox? (photos)

Asked By:gmarie95 in Port Clinton, OH

I had 20 units of Botox injected 10 days ago. 11 units in the upper forehead (my forehead is small) and 9 between my brows. When I raise my eyebrows, the skin above them looks puffy and thick but my brows do not look like they have fallen or gotten droopy when relaxed and they don't feel heavy. Do I just need more between my brows to relax those muscles? I definitely don't want my brow lifted so I'm concerned about injecting directly above them to relax those muscles. Any advice?
