Would 6 units of Botox in Frontalis Muscle cause this drastic eyebrow arch? Will it go away fast? It was a small amount (Photo)

I asked for "a tiny" amount of Botox to soften the slight crease I constantly have in the middle of my upper forehead. My injector did 3 shots in a horizontal line of 2 units each, for a total of 6 units. It's been 6 days and today I feel like my eyebrows are comically arched, and the right eye has some lid droop as it seems to be affected more than the left side of my forehead. Is this common, and will it resolve quickly since it's such a small amount? I don't want to have anymore injections to fix it.
