Botox 6 days ago, upper forehead, crows feet & brow lift. Maybe 30 un. total. I'm concerned about brows. At rest they aren't bad (higher than I would like, weird arch but not too obvious) but when I DO raise them they arch like the Joker. Looks bad. Been doing Botox for a few years & this has never happened before! I know I should wait 2 weeks & maybe it'll even out but what's better? Waiting & avoiding brow raising? Or getting corrective botox? I don't want to freeze my forehead. Thanks.
