Can someone tell me what has happened here? My forehead looks more like a Klingon than a Spocking issue. Is the fixable? I had Botox last week and it’s looking very strange. I’ve had spocking before from this dr but I’m not sure if this is the same issue.
Answer: Need to Balance Botox Injections Thank you for your question and I understand your concern. While Botox is one of the most frequently performed procedures today, it does require a degree of expertise and experience to achieve the best possible results. In your case, your injector addressed the middle muscles of your forehead while ignoring the opposing muscles to the side. This resulted in those muscles working harder and the “klingon” look you are experiencing. You need additional Botox injections to balance the muscle activity to create a natural look. Make sure you work with a board-certified dermatologist who is also an expert Botox injector to ensure an optimal outcome.

Answer: Botox and forehead muscles Thanks for your question. It is not always clear on photographs to understand what is going on without movement. If these pictures have been taken at least 2 weeks after treatment then it would seem you still have some muscle tethering from untreated areas. My advice would be to return to your injector for a full examination and discuss your options

Answer: Botox Thank You for your question. Sometimes after receiving botox injections, even up to two weeks, the skin can sometimes look bumpy along with redness. This should subside and if then you are unhappy with the result, perhaps you can return to the provider.Good LuckDr. Elliot Heller

Answer: Inadequate placement. The lateral corrugators were not injected. It appears your provider only injected the middle muscles (procerus and medial insertion points of the corrugators). Most experienced injectors inject both the medial and lateral heads of the corrugators.

Answer: What has Botox done to me? Botox lock the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which triggers the muscle contractions that create wrinkles. Botox essentially paralyze the muscles and stops them from contracting. Results from these treatments are visible within 3-14 days with results that can last anywhere from 3-4 months. Follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns. It is an easy fix. Hope this helps.
