20 units of Botox were injected into my forehead for horizontal lines. Will my brow drop improve? (photos)

SadAfter
48 hrs post injection I saw changes. My eyelids looked puffy. The inner corners of my eyes look different, hooded, heavy. Today has been 1 week. I'm unhappy with the hooded heavy eyelids, I look very tired. I'm hoping since this was my 1st (and last) time getting botox that the brow will rise up (if even only slightly!) to alleviate the heavy eyelid. Can this happen sooner than 3-4 months? things haven't changed in the last 2-3 days, is this the worst it can get? I'm scared it'll get worse
