What if I get a droopy eye from Botox? How long will that last?

This is a very rare occurrence from Botox, and usually occurs if the injector places Botox below the eyebrow and the Botox migrates into the muscle that raises the eyelid.  There are several eyedrop medications that can treat this until the Botox wears off.  But, the treatment will probably be required for the 4-6 months that the Botox normally lasts.
