How Long Will Partial Eyelid Droop from Botox Last? (photo) I was given Botox injections on 1/26/12. 5 days later on 1/31/12 I noticed that my left eyelid was drooping. My brows are even, only the one eyelid is drooping down close to the top of the pupil. I was prescribed Apraclonidine .5. It took a few days to start working, but now right after I use the drops my eyes almost look even, though still not 100% normal. Can anyone tell me when I may notice a permanent improvement? It's been 12 days since my injections. I'm desperate!

A: Eyelid drooping after Botox

It is a good thing the droop responds to apraclonidine. It usually goes away in 2-3 weeks. Ask the injector to aim the needle upward next time, especially the outermost site.

How Soon After Having Botox Would a Ptosis Show Up? Hours? Days? I had botox to the glabellar and crows feet 2 days ago and my new practitioner also gave me a half unit towards the upper, outer corner of my eyebrows too stating that this would raise my saggy eyelids. I've never had this before with my previous botox practitioner and am worried that this botox will actually cause my eyelid to droop?

A: Lateral brow botox

Injection of Botox at the lateral brow will tend to elevate the outer brow and will not drop the lid. I use 2 to 2.5 units for this. Half unit will not do much so you can stop worrying.

Extra Botox Extending Length of Results? I recently relocated from Scottsdale AZ to Las Vegas and I was disappointed to learn that they regulate the sale and distribution of botox differently. I usually use about 20 units total. From what I've been told (from three drs offices) in Vegas they will not allow you to purchase less than 50 units because you have to purchase the entire vile. When I explained that's much more than I need one place told me that it's ok because using more will make the results last longer. Any truth to this?

A: More Botox

First of all a vial normally has 100 units, not 50. Secondly, at some point more Botox will only increase complications and not increase the duration of action which has more to do with how long your body takes to grow new nerve endings to the affected muscles. There is definitely something fishy going on with those offices so call around some more physicians in your area.

	“Look Like I've Had a Stroke in the...” I went in for botox around the eyes which I have had before to open the eyes and give a more rested look. The Dr started on the left eye, and continued to do tooo much on that eye and then realized he needed more due to useing too much on the left eye. He got more and I had a budget. When he came back with more to inject on the right eye he again started on the left. I had to remind him that... more
	“Botox for Lip Lines” I see a cosmetic surgeon for Botox injections in the upper lip area about every four months. I am delighted with the results. All I used to see when I looked in the mirror were those horrible furrows above my lips. Now they are nearly invisible. I experience a little less mobility in my upper lip, but I have gotten used to it and consider it well worth the result. more
	“I Love but Doesn't Last Long Enough” I'n 28 yrs old and had botox twice. The first time was a bad experience, it caused me to have a droopy eyelid and only lasted about 4 weeks. A year later I gave it another try. The second time went better no droopy eye but only lasted 2 months. It's expensive, I wish I could get a solid 4 months of it working. more

	“Botox for Forehead Lines and Migraines” For line down center of forehead and migraines. Have had up to 32 units injected.

If yes, could it be ineffective on a person with gluten intolerance? more

	“Botox is a Good Eraser but with Side...” I frown when I sleep. My frown line is deepest in the morning. I decided to go for a Botox injection thinking it might help. I had more than what I expected, a droop eye. I feel really depressed and sad. I saw one eye fully opened and youthful, and the other helpless drooping. I love to see positive result but unfortunate it is not 100% guarantee. more
