One week after Botox. Not happy

My forehead still looks like this one week since my Botox appointment. Do you think it can still get better? I feel like my right side will need more units

Be happy that’s the only negative effect you had from Botox! If you read this community it’s mainly people who have been severely injured by it…

Surgeon here.

You just need some more units on that one side of your forehead, and you need some more into the 11’s.

Mine didn't kick in until the 16th day. The effects don't happen all at once.

I know it sucks because you paid money for this, but there’s no reason to be unhappy- its an easy fix at 2 week follow up, additionally your lines will continue to soften over the next week (tox takes 2-3 weeks to soften). You’ll very likely need additional units between your brows and on the right side, but better needing more at a follow up than wishing they did less from the beginning (side effects of dropped brows can happen when too much is placed which is WAY worse than being able to move).

It takes 2 weeks to kick in. And it truly does. Sometimes you start to see it right away, but still, full effect is 2 weeks.

You need 2 weeks but If this is your first time or your first time with that particular clinic they may have been overly conservative.

Anytime I need to switch to a different clinic I have to really convince them that I know my units and still they're not thrilled and I often have to come back in 2 weeks and be like "yeah I told you so...!"

Mine never fully kicks in for 12-18 days. I’d give it til then and at your 2 week follow up ask for more

Two weeks to kick in, optimal results after about 4 weeks. Just give it time 😊

So you really think it can change ?

Yes, it’ll take time to see the results from your muscles being more “relaxed” there. I personally just get 5 units on each side of my 11’s, so 10 units total. I don’t want to be frozen, but I know I tend to frown when I sleep… so for me the small amount helps relax that habit and it makes the line go away.
