After having so many injections, I would have thought my forehead would be "frozen" (I was a bit skeptical with the dr. recommending 45 units)? My follow up is this week and frankly, I am not happy with the results.

Answer: Proper dosing of Botox Dear LMV,You definitly have to go back to your doctor and clarify exactly what treatment you had. You mention both your glabella and your forehead. Injecting the glabella will not affect the forehead muscles. Those are two different regions of treatment. Botox is FDA approved for up to 20 units in the glabella. 20 units is actually a very strong dose of Botox and should completely immobilize those muscles on virtually all patients. Make sure your doctor was not using Dysport (an alternative to Botox) where 45 units of Dysport equates to about 15 units of Botox.Best of luck!

Answer: Botox for the glabellar lines You should be assesed by your doctor to see what dynamic movement you still have. You may require more Botox into different areas to achieve the result you would like.
