I had Botox in my 11's (glabella?). It all looks fine but when I raise my eyebrows they stay down near my nose and raise up high with a real arch at the sides which makes me look kinda scary. My Dr said this was not a problem and easily corrected. What should I expect, where will he inject and how much Botox? Also what caused this? Did he do it wrong or does this happen sometimes?

Answer: Totally correctable The reason this happened is that the medial frontalis got some Botox injected into it when the frown complex was injected (that lowered the medial brow) and no Botox was injected into the lateral frontalis (that caused a compensatory strengthening of the lateral brow and raised them too high). It is a simple correction requiring very little Botox to fix. The doctor will inject 2 spots above the lateral brows and in 3 days you will not look scary. Next time your dermatologist or plastic surgeon will make the adjustment so you will not need the touch up.

Answer: Easy fix Don't worry, this can usually be fixed easily by adding small amounts of Botox to the outer parts of the forehead muscles. This usually happens when the botox spreads and weakens too much of the middle forehead muscles.
