After getting glabellar Botox, my expressions have become awkward as I use more of my nose bridge or forehead. Is this a compensatory reaction?

When the movement of the glabellar muscles decreases, surrounding muscles may compensate by taking on more work, which can lead to increased tension in the nose bridge or forehead. This reaction can vary depending on the injection site and dosage design, so it is advisable to consult whether adjustments can be made during the next treatment.
