I've had botox in my forehead and frown lines but now I look angry. What can I do?

In many cases this results either from too much Botox in the forehead or placement of the glabella injections too high which can cause the inner part of the brow to dive downward. Please discuss with your injector. This might be salvageable with a touch up or you might just need for the Botox to wear off in 3 months or so.

Thank you for your question and I am sorry that your results have not been what you anticipated.  From your narrative it sounds as if your injector placed too much Botox into your forehead creating too much paralysis of the frontalis muscle - the muscle responsible for moving your eyebrow.  I would advise allowing your current injection effects to resolve and have less Botox placed in subsequent treatments to provide a more natural appearance.  Hope this helps.

I suggest you see your physician as this is likely due to too much or improper dosing and will take 3-4 months to resolve on its own.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question. You likely had too much Botox injected or placement of the Botox too low in the forhead. Putting more Botox into the forhead is probably not going to help and might make the problem worse. Wait 4 months and your face will return to normal. Always make sure experienced physicians perform your treatments.Good luck,

Thank you for your question ajs22. Botox is a purified protein used to address certain wrinkles on the face such as those on the forehead and above the brow. When injected in the upper forehead, Botox will relax the muscles that raise the brows. These are the muscles that cause the horizontal lines seen when we raise our brows. When injected into the glabella area between the brows, Botox will relax the muscles that pull the brows down and in. This will improve the vertical lines between the brows seen when we frown.If the upper forehead injections are too low, some people experience a heavy brow or inability to raise the brow. This goes away three to four months after a treatment and is not permanent. Sometimes adding a little Botox to the muscles that pull the brows down will counteract this effect. I recommend contacting your doctor for specific advise. Good luck!
