I received Botox 3 days ago just on the upper forehead not glabella. 9 Units only. Will my brows/lids drop indefinitely?
Answer: Dropping lids... Hello Kat.You had a low dose and if this was done high in the forehead then it's less likely to cause a drop in the eyebrow. A physical examination of the area with careful assessment of your tissue elasticity can be done before the injection to assess your overall risk of eyebrow drop.Good luck. Dr. ALDO

Answer: Botox can selectively treat only upper forehead lines without dropping the eyebrows and upper eyelids In many patients whose upper eyelids are already sagging and their eyebrows have become flatter, botox is not injected in the lower forehead as it would inhibit the forehead muscle from being able to raise the eyebrows/eyelids. In those patients I don't inject the mid forehead creases but have, in many cases, been able to inject the upper rows. I ensure that my patients realize they will still have mid forehead horizontal creases.

Answer: Botox to forehead Hello, if botox is carefully injected above the midpoint of the forehead, it should not cause the brows to droop. Remember that Botox takes approximately 5-7 days to activate and it will last for approximately 3 months.

Answer: Forehead-only Botox may lead to droopy brows, BUT... Nine units of Botox is a very small dose, so you may not see much at all. We nearly always recommend both the glabella and forehead be treated simultaneously to prevent eyebrow drooping, when horizontal forehead lines are bothersome.. Our starting dose is typically 25 units to the glabella, and 12.5 units across the brow. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph
