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 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

Answer: Brow bruising with botox Hi and thank you for your question. Just because one brow bruised, that doesn't mean it was injected with more botox. A lot of factors go into bruising such as veins in that area, injection site and angle. Every time a needle is inserted into the face there is a risk of swelling and bruising. Secondly, I would wait at least 2 weeks to see the full results of the botox before you go back to even it out. I hope this helps!
