I got Botox (forehead) for the first time this weekend. It’s starting to kick in and I really don’t like how my forehead feels so tight when I try to use my brow muscles, it’s a weird sensation. Does this feeling go away? Or do you get used to it? It’s not painful just strange.

Sometimes you also get heavy feeling above your eyebrows if it was injected too low or too much. In general you feel it more the first time but it does wear off after week 1. It does take a little getting used to but it goes away.

I feel totally normal in ‘resting state’ I just get the feeling when I try to raise my brows (didn’t realize how much I did that haha) and it’s very strange. Glad to know it will pass!

Got Botox for the first time like a month ago, it definitely is a weird feeling but it fades a bit and you get used to it over time. I will admit it still feels very tiring to use my forehead muscles, if that makes sense lol, it’s very heavy feeling and like I have to use extra effort. You get used to it though and I don’t even notice it now.

Wow I feel this post so much. I also got Botox for the first time last month and can admit that it does subside. I have the same feeling as Director 1 mentioned about the tiring, but I’m not noticing it as much anymore!

I thought the the point of Botox was to not be able to use those muscles.

Yeah I assumed it would still feel like I was using the muscles but the appearance would be different.
