Eyebrow unevenness can be corrected by injecting a little more neurotoxin into the side that is lower. This will eventually correct the asymmetry. The best outcome one can have from getting Botox injections is a relaxed, refreshed and more youthful appearance, without seeming as though one has done anything.
Trust your doctor– the heavy feeling will subside as you have not been over injected with Botox. The Frontalis is the muscle in your forehead which controls the raising of your eyebrows. After 2 weeks, if you still feel heaviness, try gentle eyebrow raising exercises and blinking your eyelids rapidly for 30 seconds.
Although ptosis may persist for the whole duration of effect of treatment with botulinum toxin type A, it will usually settle more quickly and eyelid ptosis will often settle within 3 to 4 weeks and brow ptosis within six weeks.
Abstract. The incidence, severity, and duration of ptosis after botulinum neurotoxin type A (BAT) injections into extraocular or orbicularis muscles were reviewed retrospectively. Even though lid droop frequently complicated botulinum toxin treatment in this series, no loss of vision or permanent ptosis was encountered ...
Also, you should avoid all strenuous activity for at least a few hours and up to a day. Do not get a facial massage for about 48 hours after your injection.
The effect of botulinum is to weaken the pull of the muscle. Since this cannot be reversed specifically, the majority of Botox repair or revision focuses on the weakening of another set of muscles, which are pulling in an opposing direction.
To dissolve your treatment, your esthetician will most likely inject the enzyme hyaluronidase, which serves as an antidote of sorts for hyaluronic acid fillers. Your initial type of dermal filler will determine how long it will take to dissolve.
Although the terms “Botox” and “facial fillers” are commonly used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. If too much Botox is used, the effects are not reversible.
What I have seen for more frequently is brow ptosis or a drooping eyebrow as a result of Botox placement. Because the frontalis muscle is an eyebrow elevator, placing too much product too far laterally in the forehead can entirely block the frontalis muscle and lead to a droopy eyebrow.
Botox works by weakening muscles. If you weaken the upper forehead (frontalis) muscles, you will not get a brow lift, your brow will drop. The injector actually must weaken the muscles that pull down the brow.
Immediately after the procedure, it is recommended that you move your face around, such as repeatedly smiling, frowning or eyebrow lifting. Doing this allows the treatment to reach all of the necessary cells within the area.
They may recommend getting an additional injection on the side of your face where the eyebrow appears higher. This may help to relax your muscle and make the brow line look more even. In cases where one eyebrow is noticeably lower than another, some people have plastic surgery to correct the mismatch.
For example, sometimes a peaked eyebrow is seen when only the glabella area is treated with Botox. This relaxes the muscles between the eyebrows. Usually, a small amount of the Botox spreads to the nearby central area of the frontalis muscle. This makes it harder to raise the inner eyebrows.
If you stop BOTOX treatments after many years of regular injections, the only effect will be that your wrinkles will return, albeit a bit more slowly than if you had not been using BOTOX. It's true: Even after you stop, you will still look younger than you would have if you had never been injected.
