Can a remaining heavy wrinkle in upper forehead hairline be fixed? (Photo)

Question

1st time Botox @ PS office by RN 10 days pre-photo (30 units-forehead horizontal lines/11’s/crows feet). Returned @ 10 d to correct boxed look (upper wrinkles/Spock effect). RN gave 10 more units but seemed perplexed re: forehead wrinkle @ hairline Photo taken 8 hours after touchup. Been 5 days, hairline wrinkle still & resembles a moving mask if lift brows. Spock lines better but now slight uneven dents over each brow if left but gone at rest. Can surgeon possibly fix?

Hello and thank you for your question. This happens when injections are not placed high enough into the hairline. This part of the muscle has stayed active and is creating some buckling.  As for the "spock" brows, one or two units placed above the mid-brow (close to the hair line to prevent the brow from dropping) should fix this.  These are simple adjustments. Make sure to let your injector know for future treatments so that you wont need a 2nd or 3rd visit.  Hope this helps!

Dear FabnFifty,Thank you for your question. It looks as if you have some left over frontalis activity. That is OK and actually preferred to overinjecting your forehead. I would recommend returning to your injector and receiving a complete treatment. That way both you and your injector will know the next time what a full treatment for you is. Good luck.Nirmal R.

Hi,If you are raising your brows and you get that line (which is what it looks like), you will need some more botox. Best,Mehdi Sina, MD

Thank you for asking. Botox will take 7-14 days to see full results. Please check with your PS’s office. The hairline responds well. Total dosage for the mentioned zones is typically 50 U total for complete maximized results. Best wishes!

It can take up to 2 weeks for final results with Botox. However, deeper wrinkles need a combination approach of Botox with fillers, lasers, and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
