Complete Movement 4 Days After Botox - is This Normal?

August 9, 2010
Asked By:1672anon in Sunnyvale

I had Botox for the first time on Friday between my brows. The doctor used 20 units. At first I had limited movement in this area but now I have much more movement than I expected. Also the lines are getting more like they were before the Botox was done. Is this normal and when can I ask the doctor to do a touch up?
