Droopy eyelids after Botox or Dysport is uncommon, but if taken place, often a result of post-treatment massage or manipulation of injected area in the glabella (between eyebrows) and/or imprecise injection technique by a less than experienced clinical injector. Droopy eyelids or ptosis after botulinum toxin injection typically lasts no more than 4 weeks and reversal can be hastened with Visine eyedrops under the direction of a board-certified physician.
