Question 1

had 15 units botox put in between brows 1 wk ago. rt eyelid/brow feels heavier & seems slightly droopy now. can anything be done to correct this?

Accepted Answer

Time: It is common due to the biology of the tissues for some Botox to diffuse a little more (sometimes less) in areas where the effect is not wanted.  There is no way to reverse this but Botox naturally loses its effectiveness in these areas over several days to weeks.  Your droopiness will disappear without help.

Question 2

i got botox today and an hour later got my eyebrows waxed in the east same spot and in between the brows. will this cause the botox to migrate and cause a droopy  eye? my wedding is in 3 weeks and im upset about this mistake!

Accepted Answer

If it has not: appeared yet, it is doubtful and you are correct that heat/warmth in the exact area can cause the Botox to diffuse into surrounding tissues: if you do not have any eye droop now, it is doubtful. Lesson learned.

Question 3

is a botox brow lift permanent?

Accepted Answer

: "Botox" application on facial skin, such as a "brow lift" has limited effectiveness, and requires renewal of botox application to remain cosmetically effective.  Even surgical approaches to skin tone which continue to be subject to gravitational effects require revision to maintain corrective status.

Question 4

how is botox brow lift or chemical brow lift?

Accepted Answer

Muscle relaxation: Botox causes a relaxation of the muscles in the forehead. Some pull the brows in and down while others pull the brow up. The best effect is for the Botox to block a mix of both. When you can not pull the brow in and down they tend to become spread apart and rise up a bit. This is the chemical lift you are talking about. There is also face lifts using Botox and dermal fillers

Question 5

what is the difference between a brow lift and having botox injections?

Accepted Answer

Forever vs 4 months: Brow lift is a surgical procedure which  resets the brows at a more youthful level; it also helps smooth the forehead. Botox is a medical treatment that can elevate the brow slightly but definitely smooths the forehead. The effects of brow lifts last many years, while botox's effects last 3-4 months, on average. Not all patients are candidates for either, so check with a facial plastic surgeon.

Question 6

my eyes are very hooded. how effective is a botox brow lift (a.k.a. chemical browlift)?

Accepted Answer

Not the solution: If  your upper eyelids are very hooded then Botox is not for you.The relaxation of the frontalis muscles on the forehead will cause more pressure on your already burdened upper lids. The situation could get worse. If they are that bad a surgical eyelid lift ( blepharoplasty) is better for you.

Question 7

is a tight feeling/slight soreness after botox normal? had botox for 1st time yesterday. 14 units btwn brows. how long until tight/soreness goes away?

Accepted Answer

Botox: Only your Botoxer can answer these questions based on their experience in people like you. Call tomorrow.

Question 8

i periodically get botox (15 units) to relax the frown line between my brows, but i have noticed the two triangular muscles (corrugator??) on either side of that space are fairly prominent. should i get higher amt or have the botox placed differen?

Accepted Answer

: you will need to increase your dosage by about 15 units to inject the main body of the muscles and help them relax

Question 9

had 15 units botox injected in my brow area on friday. is it safe to get a flu shot now or should i wait awhile after getting the botox?

Accepted Answer

Safe: no reported interaction and botox would not inhibit the immune response to the flu vaccine

Question 10

i received 50 units of botox in my glabella/forehead 36 hrs ago. now my brows have lost their arch & only the top 1/2 of my forehead rises/ is furrowed. is more botox a fix? how long must i wait?

Accepted Answer

Wait longer: You should  wait about 2 weeks  to allow the BOTOX to fully exert its effects. It's not unusual to see irregularities early on, as it  is just beginning to work. You should not have anymore BOTOX until 2 weeks pass, otherwise you risk  having a worse result.
