Botched botox

Help! I've recently gone back to a doctor who used to do my botox in my 30's. I moved abroad and had various different doctors as I have moved, but nobody quite as good as him.

The first time I went back to him (after a long break) he did my botox perfectly, he really listened, did it very lightly and it looked great. I went back a week and a half ago as it needed redoing after 4 months and I could feel more going in and also in different areas than previously - I told him I was susceptible to a brow drop and my forehead needs to be very lightly done, if at all. Anyway, I've ended up with a frozen forehead, all shiny and a dropped brow - doesn't look good.

I'm seeing him on Friday. What do you think he should do/offer to sort this out? I'm frightened to use him again but have already paid £75 towards next appointment in 4 months.

He is a doctor and very experienced. I have known him for 14 years and he has been on TV and in magazines giving advice etc - he's expensive, so it's not just a random nurse/aesthetician.

Hopefully he'll be able to sort it out. Is brow droop the same as 'spocking' where your eyebrows go up? I had the first time and she sorted it magically on my return checkup.

@Allwelcone Thank you for replying. I've had some spocking before from a different practitioner and that's definitely easier to resolve than a drop, but from my research it looks like some smalls tweaks can be made to improve the drop.
A brow droop/drop is when the brow goes down, eyelids become hooded and the brow looks heavy. It's the opposite effect to what you want. I believe as you age you become more susceptible to it. Hopefully he won't fob me off.

He shouldn’t fob you off, any tweaks soon be free really. Also remember, that’s his reputation on the line, he surely wants to ensure his work is good as others will see.
