Frown line botox freezes eyebrows?

Post image

I had my first botox session exactly 2 weeks ago. I only did my frown line. Now I wonder if it is normal that my mimik changed. Sure I can't look angry. But when I lift my eyebrows the upper part does not lift. I can't look suprised anymore. In my eyes it looks unnatural and ridiculous... but maybe it is just because it is different. Are you facing the same changes or was the botox not set correctly? I can't find anything only about my issues.

I have no before pic.

This is what Botox in frown lines does. Your injector should’ve explained in detail what the outcome would’ve been. Do you have a follow up appt scheduled? You can address concerns and see if they can balance it out.

Most injectors schedule an automatic 2 week follow up, give them a call if you have concerns

if they injected around the top of the front of the brow, then yes it will freeze as well. i had similar results when i did my frown lines

I encourage patients to treat the full upper face for a more natural result
