I still feel the tension in my forehead, too. I know they say no more than 6 months, but this feels so permanent???

My eyes are still slightly hooded (one more then the other) and I look very angry. I have decided to use scotch tape every night at bedtime, which keeps the 11s from forming between my brows. I will do that trick forever more.

I always liked Rachel in the past, so this review is for past experience. The low stars are for my recent mishap with botox. Three times before, I had Juvederm in my lips. She was quite expert with fillers and was extremely popular in our area. In fact, she was always too booked to even get an appointment! My last appt changed everything.

My initial Botox treatment was May 30...so I am now into my 4th month (14 weeks???). Still not happy with this very slow recovery because I notice NO improvement each day.

so here it is August 13th I had my Botox injections on May 30th...so I am fast approaching my 12 weeks. I still look in the mirror I still see angry eyes nowhere near what I normally look like. Yes I had a slight improvement at week 6...but pretty much just stays the same since that time. I am becoming very worried that this is a permanent state and that women of 62 years of age should not be messing with relaxing any muscles around their eyes. My eyebrows are still pressing downward...making me appear very tired and even worse...mean!

Thanks for the update.  I would think it will all eventually fade away, but it would depend totally on how much you had injected and how your body metabolizes the botox.  I'm sorry it hasn't gotten better yet.

Does anyone else notice?

Oh...yes. I look like I'm soooo tired. My son in law commented that I must be going through something bad. He thought I was mad at him.

Into my 4th month...still have droopy eyelids from the brow lift. I'm not happy at all with my mean look and at this point fear I messed with the elasticity in my mature skin around my eyes!

I'm sorry.  Let us know when your face starts to go back to normal- hopefully soon.
