Hi, I had botox in between my eyebrows (frown) and in the horizontal lines on my forehead 16 days ago. My right eyebrow barely moves and I can elevate it. My left eyebrow arches up when I try to move it and causes a little "pouch" above it which I don't like. When I try to lift both at the same time, only my left one raises which looks awful. I THINK my right eye lid has slightly drooped onto my lashes but I can't be sure. Will the unmoveable eyebrow correct soon or will I need to wait 6 months?

Answer: Botox: Unwanted Results The short answer to your question is that you will need to be patient and wait for return of the affected muscles. From what is stated there are asymmetric results between the two sides of your forehead which is often a greater “tell” that you have received Botox injections. These differences can be lessened with additional and focused injections. Caution is to be placed in having the entire forehead treated as one could develop a temporary, but lowered brow on both sides. Reviewing your current results with your injector is as critical as the selection of the individual performing the injections and any additional therapies.Be healthy and be well,James M.
