One known risk of Botox placement in the glabella or forehead is a complication called ptosis, or eyelid droop. This occurs because of unintentional spread to the muscles that help keep the eyelids elevated. It happens seldomly (although it does happen) to physicians who really know what they're doing with regard to Botox injection, but it happens often to physicians and non-physicians who don't have aesthetic expertise.
There is an eye drop called aproclonidine that can sometimes help temporarily correct this issue until it wears off. It's important to speak with the provider who injected the Botox that caused the complication. If they don't offer this treatment, it's a sign they shouldn't have done the injection to begin with, and you should find an aesthetic specialist for any future treatments. I recommend the ASDS website to find someone near you.
I had a retinal detachment 5 years ago -- is this any reason not to try botox ? It would be a first-time use of botox around the eyes.
Botox may be used safely for cosmetic reasons after a retinal detachment. When used correctly, Botox is limited to the muscles that intertwine with the skin, and does not penetrate the eye itself.
