I was injected with 20U of Botox in my forehead lines and 12U of Botox in my frown lines. HELP please!

Thank you for your question.  I'm sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your result.  Achieving a good result with Botox injections depends upon maintaining the proper balance between various muscle group
In your situation it sounds as if the central portion of the forehead has been relaxed a little bit too much.  This has resulted in the descent of your medial eyebrows.  On the other hand, the lateral portion of the forehead on each side was treated less, giving you the "spock" appearance you refer to when you raise your eyebrows.

It is possible that this can be improved, but it depends upon how much residual muscle activity you have at this time.  Additional injection in the medial (glabella) frown line region may help to raise your medial eyebrows slightly.  You can more easily correct the elevation of your lateral eyebrows by injecting a small amount of additional Botox in the lateral forehead on each side.  However, this will weaken these forehead muscles a bit further, and your lateral brow position may drop a small amount... and this may increase the heaviness that you feel in your brow.

I would recommend that you seek evaluation by an experienced Botox injector.  Best wishes.

This is tough to answer without pictures. Final results can take 1-2 weeks. A touch-up of Botox may give improvement and venus legacy/thermage treatments can help soften results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your problem. Botox weakened your forehead muscles in some areas, which lowered your brows. Additional Botox could be injected to lower the lateral brow to even it. Injecting the muscle at the brow level might counteract the treated areas and slightly raise the brows. See an experienced physician for consultation. Good luck,

Injection of Botox or other neuromodulators is a delicate procedure which can rarely results in serious problems but can have adverse effects related to the weakening of some muscles and compensatory hyperactivity of the untreated opposing muscles.  The goal is generally to weaken the pull-down muscles to let the lifting muscles work unapposed.  When too much weakening of the forhead muscles occurs, the brows and areea between the eyebrows often looks heavy, and the outer part of the eyebrows arch because the outer forehead muscles are not weakened, giving the 'spock' look.Returning to your injector will allow them to assess and perhaps make some additional injections to soften the side effects you noted, but it will not allow the muscles that are weakened to return faster.  Fortunately, the effect of the Botox does wear off, so over time this will resolve.  I would share your concerns with the injector who did your treatment.  If he/she is an experienced injector, they may have a temporizing solution to help you now while waiting for the botox injected to wear off.  

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry that your current results have not been what you anticipated.  Initially some patients will have this heavy brow feeling as their Botox sets in but this can correct itself as the Botox fully sets in over 2 weeks.  If your appearance does not change in the interim, see your injector for an evaluation.  The amount of Botox placed into your forehead may have been too great, resulting in dropping of your brow.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Botox starts to take full effect after two weeks, therefore I would give it another week. The heavy feeling in the forehead you are experiencing should subside over the next couple of weeks. Additional Botox to the smile lines can help lift the lateral brow and possibly more to the glabella (between the brows) can help lift the medial brow. If you do not see improvement in the week I recommend having a following up with injector for an evaluation and possibly a touch up. Best of Luck!

The total units you receives is still a low dose for the forehead. The problem was not the dose, but the location. By injecting your forehead lines they "relaxed" the muscles that elevate your eyebrows, causing them to feel like they are heavy. You have 2 options-wait until the Botox wears off, or consult with someone that has more experience to see if some of this temporary effects can be reversed.

It's possible that the frown injection was placed too high resulting in lowering of the medial brow. Additional Botox injection into the brow depressor muscles may help with the medial brow heaviness. If it doesn't then you will likely need to wait 3-4 months for the Botox to wear off. I recommend you followup with your injector to discuss your concerns. 

This can be helped with proper placement of Botox in the depressor supercili muscles. About 5 units total can help in most cases. In the future, the glabellar injection must be done a bit lower and deeper to prevent the lower frontalis from getting too much Botox. 

Sometimes less is better when it comes to Botox.  Often when people experience heavy brows after Botox, it is the result of too much of the actual forehead being treated.  The forehead muscles actually elevate when engaged and if they are overtreated the brows cannot lift as we desire.  Now, the muscles in between the brows naturally pull down when engaged.  So when Botox is properly placed there, they cannot pull down and you should actually get a lift from treating this area.  Since you already described a slight spock appearance above your brows, I personally would not do anymore Botox, as it might drop your brows even more.  I would let the effects of this treatment wear off, which usually takes 3-4 months and then consider trying Botox again, but just treat in between the eyes.
