Trying to find out if I can fix a Botox gone wrong situation?

March 11, 2017
Asked By:TD1585 in Toronto, ON

Had botox for the first time (female, 28) & required a total of 6 units. 4 units in my forehead, 1 unit under the tail of each eyebrow. 3 weeks later it looks like someone is pushing my eyebrows down giving me a hooded look, my right eye looks lazy since my eyebrow is pushing my eyelid down preventing it from opening fully. Went back to the clinic, the doctor said its because she used such a small amount it didn't balance out the muscles properly, which she failed to explain before treatment
