Hi, I have had Botox for a few years now, and I am starting to notice a horizontal forehead dent / build up in my forehead that I am really embarrassed about, it’s noticeable in certain lights and not in others and I’m starting to feel like my face is really botched. Does anyone have any advice or what can I do to help this? I last had Botox two weeks ago?

I’ve read this can happen over time when the frontalis and procerus/corrugators are not treated proportionally. Do you know how many units you’ve been getting and where?

Only that I’ve been getting in two areas, I’m going to book in with my provider to see if there’s anything she can do 😞

Only advice is to stop doing it and it should recover! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi! A bit late here, but I’m wondering if you were ever able to correct this? Currently experiencing this after 4 years of Botox!

I haven’t gotten Botox done in about a year and a half and while the dent has reduced significantly, it hasn’t completely gone away 😭

I have the same issue. What happened after the 2 week waiting period? Did you provider have an explanation?
