Before And After Forehead Wrinkles & Frown Lines Case 627

ABOUT OUR PATIENT
This young male in his 20’s wanted to soften the existing wrinkles on his upper face and prevent them from worsening. He is animated with his facial expressions and was concerned about the lines seen both at rest and with movement in the forehead and around his eyes. He had never had any neuromodulator treatments before and wanted a natural but effective result.

TREATMENT PLAN 
His horizontal forehead lines were visible at rest and when raising his eyebrows or frowning as well as when smiling.

Botox was placed into the muscles of the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes to relax the muscles that were causing them to contract and form these overlying wrinkles.

We started off conservatively to keep a natural result then followed up with the patient in two weeks to add a little more Botox to the forehead and frowning muscles. He noticed great results initially, but wanted even less movement than he saw at that point. Touch-ups can be performed to add more Botox conservatively to achieve desired results while avoiding a “frozen” appearance as Botox cannot be reversed.

THE OUTCOME 
This young man saw his aesthetic goals achieved! He still had some movement to maintain a natural result and saw great results with his wrinkles effectively decreased and softened. He is able to smile without any “crow’s feet” and continue his facial expressions without worrying about wrinkles making him look older than he actually is.
