Q: Risk of drooping eyelid for crow's feet Botox injection?

A:

Generally, the risk of this should be slight. Brows and upper eyelids can droop with injection in the forehead or the glabella. Accurate evaluation of your face before placement of the product is essential. The droop, called ptosis, is unusual and goes away. We have not seen eyelids droop with the amount of Botox we place in crow's feet. If a large amount is used in already week eye muscle, it could happen. You should be evaluated by a physician who does a lot of these injections.
