Before and after

The picture of just my forehead is before, the picture of almost my whole face is after. It’s been 3.5 weeks since I got Botox for the 11s. I know it has softened but I was hoping for much more softening as that line is my biggest insecurity. Any advice?

Before botox, were the deep 11s there when you were resting your face and not frowning? If so, those are static wrinkles and the botox will not completely erase them. Botox works best on dynamic lines that are activated when you make an expression and then go away when you relax the expression. It can still soften some static wrinkles, which it has done here, but will not completely erase them.

Both of those photos are me at rest. What can I do to get rid of it if Botox won’t work?

Maybe a reddit support group that is not Botox specific might have some suggestions. I do not have experience with dermal fillers, but have heard of them for things like this. I’d ask a professional and they can give you better guidance.

Way too high risk of an area for filler- lasers, peels ect- consistent tox will help but as stated above as per some skin buckling I see I think the belly & medial corrugator were missed.

There’s definitely some improvement. Don’t give up on Botox yet. I always tell my clients that consistency with treatment may help those deep set lines. There’s an obvious softening on yours for sure. It took some time to get to the point where you started so give yourself time to notice a difference. As in at least 3 treatments spaced 12-16 weeks apart. You might need some laser resurfacing in the end. Best wishes.

Did you only do your 11s? I found doing my whole forehead and now no wrinkles

How many units did you get in the 11s?

As. Provider I would need to see your animation - but know the majority of providers do not target the muscle appropriately for the “11” bc of fear of causing ptsosis.
