I got 12 units throughout my forehead of Botox for the very first time 12 days ago because I wanted a refreshed look. I was told this was a conservative amount. My forehead is frozen and my eyebrows have dropped so low causing hooded eyes. I feel so ugly with botox and don’t look like myself anymore. I look angry all the time. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? How long does this look typically last? went to one of the best plastic surgeons to have this injected too I’m so bummed :(
Answer: Brow Dropped After Botox In my opinion, 12 units of Botox in the forehead is a moderate treatment, not a light dose. The frontalis muscle (forehead) is the only upward supporting muscle of the brow. Even modest doses can cause a little drooping. In the future I would suggest dropping to 6 or 9 units. In the meantime, you might see a small improvement in brow position by treating the downward pulling muscles that act on the brow - corrugators, procerus (frown muscles) and temporal portion of the orbicularis muscle (crow's feet). If those have already been treated you will have to wait a short time for your brow to recover. Fortunately, a small droop frequently lasts only a few weeks. Best wishes. You will be happy when you discover the ideal dosage for your face.

Answer: Eyebrows have changed shape and dropped very low after receiving botox 12 days ago. Is there anything that can be done to fix? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Unfortunately it appears that you have suffered with some sagging of your eyebrows resulting in heaviness of the upper eyelids. This will wear off in time but you may see some temporary improvement with treatment to the crow's feet region and/or glabella. Based on your sensitivity to the product it would be best to let your injector see your results so that future treatments can be tailored accordingly.

Answer: Dropped Eyebrows Although Botox is not reversible, injections into the lateral brow (often in combination with treatment of the crow's feet, or lateral small lines), can elevate the brow to some degree. This is something to consider. Please seek re-evaluation with your treating physician to discuss your concerns and seek correction, if possible.

Answer: Is there anything that can be done to fix? Botox locks the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which triggers the muscle contractions that create wrinkles. Botox essentially paralyzes the muscles and stops them from contracting. Results from these treatments are visible within 3-14 days with results that can last anywhere from 3-4 months. Unfortunately, Botox cannot be reversed. Follow up with your injector at 2 weeks to discuss any questions or concerns that you may have. Hope this helps.
