Can droopy eye be permanent? I using drops but when i get tired it comes back will it get better

Tqgucci 6 Apr 2013

Mine went away completely within 3 months. Went to a new doctor in March and got it redone and I looks great .

Hi I still Im using the drops some days look worse than others it took you 3months to go away completely? its going to be 2 months on the 19th when the droopy eye started. Im worried drops will damage eye, so there are days i dont put it in but wondering if i should just keep it up? But my lid looks puffy at times, I just wish it would get better. Any more advice?

It will get better. I did not use drops and after 3 months it went back to normal. I went to a different plastic surgeons office a few months ago and got Botox again with a lift on my eyebrows with the Botox and looks great. It will get better. I feel your pain I was o sad fo months and one dy I woke up an it was gone

Well, I was planning to get the treatment done, but there are so complications according to the doctor, and this is one of them "Droopy eyes". Actually the doctor, It depends on person to person and the effects does not last permanently. Its just a part of the treatment and it gets better with time.

No i am having Botox treatment since 4 months but it not cause droopy eye.The effect or wrinkle free appearance is there upto six months. However, if the treatment is continued the effects may last longer. The use of Botox is quite safe with a few exceptions of milder and temporary side effects.

Just had botox injection on Monday. Within an hour I felt heaviness in my forehead as well as a bad headache. By Tuesday I could tell the brow and eyelid droop had begun. I am so upset! I've had botox previously but never in my forehead. I have a small forehead and told the certified plastic surgeon not to inject the forehead because my mother has a small forehead and she suffered from droopy brows/eyelids so I was terrified that would happen to me. He insisted it wouldn't...unfortunatelyI gave in. Lesson learned, go with your gut. I definitely know myself better than a surgeon I just met. Now let me clarify something. Personally I didn't know him but he came highly recommended by two friends who look great. These next few months are going to be long and agonizing! Good luck to all of us :-(

My elelid is finally starting to get back to normal after 2 months. However, if I'm tired it looks really bad. I don't want to give up on Botox. However, I'm not sure when I will find myself back in the chair. I am gonna stick with facials for awhile.

I'm so glad to hear that you are seeing some improvement!! I certainly don't blame you for being wary about doing it again. That is very understandable after your experience.

When lid start to get better and mostly droop when tired its a sign the lid starts to be stronger,the last two months i had also droopiness mostly when tired and evenings ,and then it recovered when started running

chark 30 Nov 2012

So sorry to hear,.

chark 26 Nov 2012

I read online that some botox ptosis patients exercised to help lid raise I started to run about 10 days ago,4 km each day,that helped .

chark 26 Nov 2012

About 3 days ago in the morning i saw that the droopiness finally is fading away,im so happy you cant believe. Also evaluated the cause,it was the crows feet injection,its supossed to be injected just under skin with a little blub ,mine was injected deeply,so it affected levator palpebrae superiorus

I will write again,my post dont show. Ive had Botox and Dysport many years.But my latest went wrong,i believe it was the crows feet injection that was the problem.It made both upper eye lids puffy,Visine and Rohto eye drops reduce the droop a bit.After a few weeks the left lid got better,but right lid still after 5-6 months is puffy and gets droopy when tired.Im addicted to Visine (tetrahydrolozine) strenghtens Muellers muscle in eye,to reduce droopy appearence. I believe my eye lid is weakend for ever or for long time.Im devastated and sad,got panic when the droop accured .

I am about 2 months out and I still have eyelid drop. It is not as bad but still very noticeable. I will wait to wait a few months months to see if this is permanete damage. I hope yours gets better.

Tqgucci 9 Nov 2012

Thanks so much...I will check it out...my eye is slowly getting better but not sure if I will gte it done again due to how horibale it has looked the past 2 months.

I don't understand why you would post this Lynelle? How do we know where the injections should go? Isn't this why we pay good money to go to a professional? I trusted a board certified plastic surgeon to place the injections. I'm not an expert that's why I paid him. For you to say you are tired of this feed and if we don't want our eyelids to droop we can't have injections below the lowest line. What???? How, why would I know this? Bottom line is that this is a problem that it seems women our having. I think there needs to be better training with doctors prior to injecting. My eyelid is covering my eye and I got duped and I feel horriable that I wasted money to look worse and not better. I should of used the money to help someone rather than wasting on botox

chark 16 Nov 2012

how you mean outside the pupils?,im not speaking english so good,what injection site is that?

GardeniaGurl 28 Mar 2013

We may be tired of this "feed"- BUT... I don't even WANT Botox, unfortunately after a devastating accident, broken back, herianted and bluging discs in ny neck which cause migraines and severe headaches I had no other option. I was taking 12-20 Advil a day which a HUGE risk for a heart attack. I HATE botox- my head was so numb last year I split my head open and didn't even feel it- my eyelids droop the entire time and my eyes WERE one of my favorite features... I think we are all just trying to get answers... I am not in this for a cosmetic purpose- it's the only thing that stops the headaches.

I just got Botox 2 weeks ago and had very strange looking lines above my eyebrows. She said its called "peeking". Went in last Monday for touch up and now I have droopy eyelids, I can't even put on makeup. It looks horrible. Is this permanent damage? How long before it goes away? I will never get Botox again.

I must mentioned that she has two clinics and is a qualify aesthetic doctor, at least reputable to open business in the central of downtown. Anyway, I just need to know, what should I do? It had been 2 weeks now. And the lines are still there...

SL30s 30 Jun 2012

Hi all,

this is really scary after reading all of this. I do not have wrinkles under my eye but I wanted to get rid of my eye bag and dark eye circle, my aesthetic doctor who is a not a trained plastic surgeon did the procedure on me and after a few days, my eyes look unbalance insignificantly wrinkles underneath. Worst of all, one side is droppier than the other and the dark eye circles look even worst. My right eye seems to have 6 lines of wrinkles underneath which is terrifying. On my left eye has 4 lines which made me look tired and older. I went back to her and she said that it is the muscle reacting, and perhaps should inject more botox inside my eyes! i do not even know why she did that as she said she dont understand why it happen on me! please help someone, I can send you my photos. I looked so fine before and now, it had made me looked so wrinklier even I smile, I feel so sad. This is the price to pay for vanity. I paid a good SGD900. Will it go away? Or how would I know if it ruined my nerve muscle?

I've been getting botox injections for crow's feet with no ill effects for a few years. About a month ago, I got a couple of additional injections for some brow heaviness and ended up with ptosis around one eye. Didn't want to use eye drops, so for a temporary fix, got some of those eyelid strips made from double-sided tape to create a non-surgical eyelid lift. Works great!

Its good to hear those work. I always assumed they would start to come off a couple hours after putting them on. Do you wear eye makeup? If so, how does it work with that?
