Hello in the past I have had brow botox. I noticed one brow area bruised where as the other brow did not. Does this mean that more botox was injected into the area that bruised more or is it just due to the way the needle was inserted? Second part, if one brow raises higher then the other how soon can you go back to get more botox to even it out?

Answer: Botox Thank you for your question. Bruising is an indication that a small blood vessel was injured during injection, but doesn't reflect a difference in volume injected. For asymmetry, I would wait until a week after injection, and then small touch ups can be performed. All the best! -Dr. P

Answer: Botox bruising It's not uncommon to have bruising in one area and not in other areas after Botox injection. The bruising is caused by the needle coming into contact with blood vessels under the skin. If the brow's are uneven, they can be touched up and this is normally done 10-14 days after the treatment. If it is severe it may be done earlier. I recommend if there is unevenness that you let your practitioner know as early as possible so a treatment plan can be put in place. All the best to you, Dr. Nancy de Kleer
