Recommended Jeuveau for subtle brow lift - no change to my brows

I went to see Dr. Kane for a "subtle" Botox brow lift and he and his wife Lauri ended up recommending Newtox/Jeuveau. I had been a regular patient of Dr. Kane for several years, so I fully trusted his advice and suggestions. It was my first time getting Botox of any kind and truthfully, I should have done better research and went in knowing exactly what I wanted/how much. Lauri and Dr. Kane recommended something like over 100 units ($600+) of Newtox and Dr. Kane explained that if he injected just my brow, it would pull it down, so he had to inject in other places as well. It made sense to me, so I said OK.

I should have listened to the nurse who said I should stress to Dr. Kane that I didn't need that high of units (I didn't even have any wrinkles), but like I said, I fully trusted him and didn't think he would steer me wrong. I saw no change to my brows. I thought the injections did nothing. When I brought that up to Lauri and Dr. Kane at my follow-up appointment, they just shrugged, as if I hadn’t just spent $600+ for nothing. I eventually saw a different provider for Dysport injections for a proper Botox Brow lift (roughly $200) and my brows look great now. Unfortunately, I am experiencing other changes to my appearance that can possibly be the result of the overinjection of Jeuveau.

After getting opinions from other doctors about first time use of neurotoxins, I definitely feel taken advantage of. I am not sure why I was recommended such a high number of units as my first time getting Botox when I had no wrinkles. Was money the motivator? Again, I am not sure. If Dr. Kane is being irresponsible with his regular patients, how is he doing with new patients? This has been a truly frustrating experience and definitely made me more distrustful of plastic surgeons.
