I was told by a friend who got Botox in her forehead that she would never do it again as it felt like something was stuck to her forehead and wouldn't go away. Is this true & is there any constant discomfort? Do you feel anything once procedure is done and even months later? I'm worried that you don't feel normal and that there is this constant discomfort in the forehead. Could you please advise what it feels like and if this is true? Thank you

Answer: Botox in the forehead Hi there, thanks for the questions. Typically Botox in the forehead does not cause discomfort - other than the needle sticks. Botox prevents muscles from working at their full capacity - sometimes we paralyze them completely. The feeling of muscles not working the way they used to can be irritating for some patients, but it is not typically described as discomfort. If too much Botox is injected into the forehead muscles they can be paralyzed - which is not what should be done. This would create a feeling of heaviness & the inability to raise the eyebrows which may be described as discomfort. Be sure to see an experienced injector if you are trying Botox for the first time. Good luck!Sincerely,Dr. Michelle Spring

Answer: There is typically no discomfort after Botox treatments The few things to remember about Botox and it's after-effects are:There can be a mild headache in some people for a day or twoThe effects on the muscle take about a week to workBruising is the most common side effect, which is typically small and temporary (about a week at the most)Hope this helps!
