I developed Bells palsy in march and went on to develop synkinesis. I got treated with Botox around my eye to stop it from closing when smiling/chewing etc. It worked well for this and gave me some confidence back which had been really impacted by the Bells palsy. The only issue I had was that any time I ate my eye would water and tears would stream down my face, is this common?
I am 26 & had botox treatment for chronic migraines 2 weeks ago. 2 days after the treatment I got a droopy left eyelid that has got progressively worse over the past 2 weeks. Both of my eyes are dry (something I've never experienced before), and neither of my eyes are producing tears. Both eyes are red, and blurry all the time. I have also developed a spasm or twitching under the droopy eye.
Went in for botox and tear trough consult. Was told 60 units of botox to start Was told I needed 2 syringes of filler in my cheeks in order to do the tear trough area another 2 syringes in tear trough... they tried to say sunken eyes was due to volume loss in cheeks and eyes( i was born with sunken eyes my 7 year old has them also doubtful my 7 year old has volume loss)also wanted my lips a little bigger since they are already decent sized....told I needed 3 syringes of juvederm for my lips.
I've gotten botox for years and this is the first time this has happened. It is getting better now that the botox is starting to wear off. Is there something I should do or share with the injector the next time? Perhaps wait longer, get less units or avoid the area between the brow? Thanks in advance.
I've had dry eyes for years (way before I started using botox). When I'm outdoor tears easily roll off my cheeks especially when its windy. I've been using botox for about year. I noticed now sometimes when I'm indoor laying on my bed or sofa watching tv if I'm laying on my side tears starts to follow. If I sleep on my side somethings I cry in my sleep. If I'm on my back it doesnt happen. I just thought I'd ask if there is any relationship to botox. Thx
