Botox
You may have some swelling from the injection or bleeding around the injection area because botulinum does not have such a rapid onset. Try some ice and see your doctor during office hours. All the best, "Dr. Joe"

Eyelid Droop- uncommon but temporary
Eyelid droop is an uncommon side effect of Botox injections, even in the most experienced hands. Typically this take 3-10 days to develop, is temporary and often significantly clears in 6-8 weeks. Some patients find OTC Naphcon-A eye drops will improve this, or a prescription from your physician for Iopidine eye drops can help until this undesirable side effect wears off.

It is not a desired result and usually it does take more than one day to show up. This means that you may see an increased drop in that eyelid/eyebrow in the next few days and may see on the other side as well. make an appointment with your doctor to evaluate your droop and see if it can be improved.

Eyelid droop after botox above brow
The droop of the eyelid is likely due to the spread of botox to the levator palpebrae, the muscle that lifts the eyelid. This unwanted side effect can last for several weeks. It can be counteracted with special eyedrops (apraclonidine) that contract Muller muscles, which results in eyelid elevation of 1-3mm.

24 Hours After Botox, my Left Eye is Drooping is This Normal
IMHO, it's the proximity of the neurotoxin placement to the eyebrow that can cause eyebrow and eyelid droop. This is an undesired side effect that's not aesthetically attractive and should be avoided, IMO. Droop is avoided by staying approximately 1-2 fingers width above the lateral and mid eyebrow area when injecting neurotoxins in the forehead. Be sure that the MD that does your Botox, Dysport or Xeomin understands and follows the proper aesthetics of...
