Small Amount of Botox to Flatten Facial Scar and when Should I Have Waited to Pluck my Eyebrows? (photo)

June 24, 2012
Asked By:1290 in Ukiah, CA

On Thursday I had a small amount of botox injected either side of a indented facial scar that sits right above my eyebrow, going up my lower forehead about half an inch. Its fairly small but bothered me because it didn't cover well with makeup (makeup seemed to sink into it making it even more visable!) and showed up in some lights. I plucked my eyebrows last night (Saturday) despite being told to wait about a week and Im worried that I will have affected it. I have an shaping app next Friday.
