Preventing eye ptosis from Botox?

Darryl J. Blinski, MD answers: Preventing eye ptosis from Botox?

I keep hearing more and more cases of eyelid ptosis or "droopy" or closed eye from Botox. Is there a way to decrease the chances of this happening? Does it happen as often with Dysport as well?

Best way is to be conservative with the amounts of Botox injected in the lateral portions of the eyebrow. And the experience of the Botox injector.

Does the brow or eyelid ptosis occur in my hands? Sure but very rarely, in about 1:350 patients. So, I try to be as careful and observant as possible.

Hope that helps!
