Spock brows 1 month after glabellar Botox - what can I do to correct this? (photos)

Hi @Diligent846365! This is easily treatable. This occurs when the wrinkle relaxer (Botox) is injected only at the central part of the upper forehead. When the central forehead is weakened and the outer sides remain active, the central brow to drop and the outer brow to appear like it's lifted too high. You can go back to your licensed practitioner and they can add 1-2 units above the arch of the eyebrow.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

The "spock" brow deformity is caused by utilizing the neurotoxin to treat only the middle part of the frontalis muscle, leaving the lateral aspects to move and raise the brow in an unnatural manner. This lateral brow area can be injected to lower the brow slightly. However, this is ideally performed within two weeks of the original injection. Getting additional injections one month out risks the new injections lasting longer than the original, which could cause your brow to droop. I would ask your injector for only a small amount of lateral forehead toxin to keep this effect from happening.
