I got 30 units around my forehead and crows feet. It's been just over 2 wks and I noticed my inner eyes have pointed down slightly. It feels heavy between my eyes. My eyebrow arch looks higher due to the drop between my eyes (specially my right eye). Its made me look tired and mean and very self conscious. What went wrong?
Answer: Brow drop after botox I do not appreciate that your eyes are pointing down more. However, you do have a little drop of your brow it the upper photo is the before. The amount you had injected seems very reasonable but the doctor might need to change your injection pattern a little next time as everyone reacts differently and you don't always know what you will like until you try it . Nothing went wrong, just need a little differently next time

Answer: Forehead Botox It sounds like your glabellar complex (between the brows) was not injected. Since the forehead muscles have relaxed, the glabellar group is now to dominant. The lateral peak ('Spock brow, technical term Mephisto effect) is due to the central forehead muscle fibers being relaxed while those on the sides are still active. Overall this result can be improved with additional botox.

Answer: Botox and the eyebrows I see what you are talking about but do not worry. It can be helped. Sometimes when inject crows feet, the depressor function of the orbicular muscle is relaxed which makes the competing forehead muscle lift brow. You can add a little more Botox to the lateral part of the forehead to reduce the peak of your lateral eyebrows. Also, since you treated the forehead but not the frown lines of the glabella this may be now pulling down not he brow since the forehead is relaxed in the middle of the forehead. So, touch up the lateral forehead and maybe treat the frown line to give better balance. This is a common issue and it can be improved. Sometimes using Botox or Dysport can be a little bit of a learning experience for the patient. Not everyone is injected the same.

Answer: Why did my inner eyes point down after Botox? Thanks for the question and the photos and sorry that you are having these issues after your Botox injections. We always recommend that you have these done in the offices of board certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons. Your lateral brows are up somewhat and these can be corrected with some more toxin placed by an expert who can correct this. If there is slight downward shift in the inner eye areas, these will go away as the Botox wears off, but this seems minimal in the photos. I would go back to your injector and see what the best options are for you.

Answer: Medial eyebrow drooping after Botox injection If too much Botox is used in the central frontalis or the Botox is injected too high into the glabella, the medial eyebrows can appear droopy. This can sometimes be corrected by injecting additional Botox into the eyebrow depressors such as the depressor supercilli. I would follow up with your injector to discuss your concerns.
