I had 25 units of botox inserted in my forehead and above my brows. Later topped up with 10 units above my brows as there was still creases. After the injections i began to suffer from anxiety. Does botox trigger anxiety? when i raise my brows 1 looks higher than the other but when resting they look even. The practitioner said she can inject more but my head already feels frozen and heavy. Is the amount of botox used correct for the forehead and how long will the feeling last? Thankyou [RS bleep]

Answer: Heavy forehead Thank you for your question. That is very high dose of Botox for the forehead. When you immobilize the frontalis muscle (the forehead) you can get a very heavy feeling because you can no longer lift your brows up. Try a lower dose next time. I typically start with 8-12 units. Botox lasts 3-4 months. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Not unusual So heaviness is not at all unusual after botox injections into forehead frown lines .That exact muscle in fact is designed to raise your eyebrows and thus will inevitably feel heavy. Anxiety is a normal part of doing something scary and new but not specifically related to botox in my experience.
