Eyebrows after Botox !

Hi all, had Botox on Friday as was sick of looking like a tired mum! It's only Monday and can see the effects my forehead genuinely looks better but I have a bit of spok eyebrow which if making the into corner of my eye look more drooped, will this go away when it 'settles?' I just think I look a bit angry :( and think might be regretting it, she said I can have a top up in two weeks to sort anything out but just wanted to see if anyone else had this and if it does settle, I'm going out for the first time in ages in a few weeks and wanted to feel good so just feeling a little disappointed

It might be that she can 'fix' this with the top up - apparently it takes around 2 weeks for botox to properly settle in. I have botox and I had PDO threads which definitely helped me. Bit of filler, too 😆I have had a lot of stress in my life and it affected my skin and I'm also peri-menopausal. HOWEVER - the droop was something I was concerned about and I changed practitioners and since then it's been better. I raise one eyebrow a lot though which means that that one is OK, however it does look a bit suspect on the side I don't raise.

Botox relaxes the muscles which I'm sure you know of. My next stop is saving for blepharoplasty...! 😅

Just let it settle for a bit longer. My nurse has me go back after 2 weeks for a check if I think it isn't looking 100% right - she then takes pictures (to see what needs tweaking next time) and offers a free top up - did yours say anything about this? If not, I'd think of going somewhere else next time as they clearly don't care about aftercare.

Think Simon Cowell and a few other celsuffered this droopy effect. That’s one of the reasons I won’t have it. At least it will wear off

I get Botox twice a year and this happens to me each time. It always starts around day 3/4 but then softens as the 2 weeks progresses. By the time I go back for my 2 week review it's usually gone. If it's not away by 2 weeks they can inject a little Botox around your hairline to drop the arch of your eyebrow. It's very effective. Don't worry-you won't be left with this!

I'm prone to spoc brow too. At your top up, tell them ans they'll add a bit more at the edge to stop your end of the brow lifting as much
