Forehead Froze After Massaging Botox, is This a Common Side Effect?

August 3, 2010
Asked By:rebatwin2 in Georgetown, TX

I inadvertantly pressed the center of my forehead after nearly 5 1/2 weeks since botox injection. My face froze into a frown, even felt it down my nose. I pressed it out, or attempted to, and it seemed to get better, but now the "11" is back completely. I received 25 units and it was my first time.
