How many units of Botox for my forehead?

February 6, 2016
Asked By:afgf in Sacramento, CA

I'm a young patient, 23. I started Botox a year ago for my frown lines. I only receive 10 units and it completely freezes my glabella region for 4.5-5 months at a time. I'd like to get my forehead done as well, but I'm really afraid of it being over-injected due to my requiring very little Botox for a completely frozen glabella. I don't want an eyebrow droop or stiff look. How many units would you recommend trying for my upper forehead?
