Westchester Botox doctors

It is possible for patients receiving injectable neurotoxins to develop mild and temporary headaches in the first week or so after the treatment. However, these headaches typically resolve fairly quickly.  If you are concerned about your symptoms, I would suggest you follow up with the doctor who did the injections. It is possible that he or she may have used a different neurotoxin this time, which might explain your having these symptoms for the first time.  If they persist for several weeks, they are much less likely related to the botox and I would consider seeing your primary care doctor. 

The most important advice I can give you is that you consult with and get treated by a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon. As mentioned by other physicians in their answers, it is impossible to answer your question regarding dosages and units without evaluating you in person.  Dosages very from patient to patient depending on the location, nature of the areas involved, and the desired outcomes. We do a lot of botox to the platysmal bands in our practice with great success.  In the hands of a well-trained, board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon, botox treatment of this area is very safe and effective.  Hope this helps!

When Botox (or other neurotoxins) are injected properly by a well-trained, board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon, droopy eyelids can and should be avoided.  However, if it happens, it is usually because the neurotoxin was injected too close to the eyebrow and/or too much was injected.  Droopy eyelids secondary to a lowered eyebrow are usually seen within 1 to 2 weeks of the treatments and typically wear off as the neurotoxin wears off.  There are also in-office treatments that can help improve a droopy eyelid.  You mention developing a so-called droopy right eyelid four months after having received the injections and as the results of the neurotoxin seemed to be wearing off.  I honestly cannot explain that based on what you have shared, but would be surprised if it is related to the Botox originally injected. That being said, I recommend you consult with the physician who did the treatment for you for evaluation and discussion of possible causes and if necessary, possible treatments.  Hope this helps. Good luck!
