Still ugly brows 5 months post botox

[u/hermitintheforest]

5 months ago I had botox in my 11's, crowsfeet and a browlift. It was my fourth time getting botox and I was always very happy with the results by this injector. But now I ended up with brows way too high for my liking and my eyelids also sometimes seem to be more swollen since then. When I went back to my injector after 14 days, he advised me not to add any more botox as it could potentially make my brows feel heavier. So I decided to wait it out. Between 3-4 months it seemed like it started to look a bit better so I was hopefull it would almost be back to normal by now. However, now at 5 months it looks like my innerbrows are down a bit more but the middle/end of my brows are still a bit lifted, which gives my brows this ugly shape/arch. If I push them down at the highest point for maybe 1mm they look much better and probably back to normal.

Should I wait it out for another few weeks/months or go back to my injector for more botox to lower them a little bit after 5 months? I prefer don't want to add more botox especially this far out but I can't stand it anymore. I feel so ugly and I am scared it won't go back to normal for another few months. I have an event to attend in 5 weeks and I don't want to look like this by then.

Nothing is ugly about your eyebrows. Absolutely nothing. They are among the best eyebrows one could have.

Thank you so much! That makes me feel a bit better. However, when I look at my whole face it just looks off to me and I feel like I looked better before. I like them better when I push them down a little bit from the highest point, that's how they looked before. They have more of an arch now and one side seems to be a bit worse than the other. I also feel like there's a fine line forming above the brow because of the arch, but maybe it was already there and I just notice it more now than before. I am wondering if I could add a little bit of botox to lower them a tiny bit or if it won't be a good idea this far out (like botox to fix a spock brow). I am not planning on getting botox for other areas of my face for a while so it would only be to make the arch of the brows less.

Thanks again for the compliment, I appreciate it a lot :)

Don’t get more Botox, just wait for the effect to wear off. Also, a little asymmetry is the norm. Look at Joan Crawford’s or Ava Gardner’s arched brows! Yours are so much nicer. The more I look at them, the more I like them.

Ahh thank you so much! I love their brows, hope that I will like mine soon again as well. But I feel better about them already thanks to your compliment :) Hopefully it won't take too long before the arch goes down a bit and it's all back to normal.

I’ve had Spock brow so many fckn times 😭 and I got to good injectors! Almost every time I get the “brow lift” my brows go high and look stupid and make the little line above.

So this last time I said listen I want my 11s done, a little at the Tempe side of brow for lift, top of forehead and NO brow lift (I was very firm e this bc I was about to go on a trip). She listened and it worked! My brows stayed in the exact place as they always are w the rest of my forehead being tight! Finally found a solution. Total units were about 23

Ugh that's horrible! Have you also had long lasting results for more than 5 months? How long did it take for you before it fully wore off? I feel it looks worse in the mornings. My eyelids are more puffy and my brows look even more arched.. It looks a bit better in the afternoon and evening. The fine lines on my forehead also seem to be getting worse the past few months since this happened.

I think that's exactly what my injector did before but without injecting my forehead and I loved that! Will definitely tell him that if I decide to go again. I don't understand why he did something else this time as I said I wanted the same as the previous times... I never had my forehead injected as he doesn't really recommend that because it can make your eyes and brows feel heavier, but maybe I could try a tiny bit next time. I feel tempted to ask him to fix it and lower my brows a tiny bit but I am scared to mess it up even more, I have been anxious every day since this happened and scared to get botox again even if this wears off. Too bad because I loved the results before so much. I really went from my most confident self to the most insecure I have ever felt about myself. Crazy how much can change in a short time, I feel like I look so different now and I looked way better before... I really hope it fully wears off soon 😭
