8.5 Months Ago Had Botox Around Eyes. Uneven and Pulling Down?
8 1/2 month ago I had botox injected around my eye and lower brow area. The doctor is a reputable doctor however ever since the procedure, he right eye lid has been pulling up and my eyes look uneven. Now I have been looking at close up pictures from before and I did not have this issue. It looks like the eye is bigger and more open than my left eye and I am very upset. Could there have been permanent damage?

Botox and changes over time
It is very difficult to answer your question without first viewing pictures or seeing you in person. Over time, we experience many changes to our face that sometimes weren't noted before. Botox is not long-lasting - and doesn't cause permanent changes to the aperature of an eye, for example.

Botox causing asymmetry in the eyelid, brow
The effect of Botox shuold have dissipated by now and the effect you are describing may be from placement above and or below the eyebrow.. Since you are 8 months out, it is very very very unlikely that this is from the Botox. See the physician who injected the Botox in follow-up.

Botox effects are temporary
The effects of Botox last about 3-4 months for cosmetic facial use. This is true for both the desired effect and any adverse effects.

8.5 months ago had Botox around eyes. Uneven and pulling down?
Hello, and sorry to hear about the result you experienced following your treatment. Botox is temporary, and any side effects that result from the treatment will disappear once the Botox has worn off. I would recommend following up with the physician who performed your treatment and communicating this concern to him or her. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

8.5 months ago and issues with Botox
Botox is absolutely not permanent. It just isn't. If it's been 8.5 months, something else has changed or is changing. I know you want answers, but Botox just isn't the issue here. It cannot last forever. It's just not possible.

How Long Does Botox Last?
Botox usually lasts 3-6 months. It is unlikely that any asymmetries 8 months after the treatment is a result of botox. You may be noticing your normal muscle function. I would recommend returning to your physician to determine the best treatment plan.

Botox lasting more than 8 month?
I have not heard of any such thing yet. you might want to consider a consultation with your doctor who did the injections for you to go over your concerns. and perhaps look at any pictures taken before you had anything done. Botox injections are not permanent to the best of my knowledge.

Botox after 8 1/2 months
It is highly unlikely that the effects of Botox have lasted more than 4-6 months. What your are seeing is probably your normal motion. Your concerns should be evaluated in person.

Botox effects
Hello,
Agree with the other Doctors here. Botox is NOT permanent. The duration is typically 3-4 months. Rarely going past 5 months. I have been injecting botox for the last 14 years, and have never seen this.
If you are noticing something that is new it is likely not a result of the botox. I would suggest returning to your PS to see what options you have.

Botox after 8 1/2 months
It is unlikely that any of the Botox could have lasted this long. I have never heard of Botox causing any permanent changes such as this. Often, after having cosmetic procedures, patients look at themselves more carefully and notice asymmetries that they had not noticed before.

Effect of Botox around the eyes
Botox typically lasts about 4 months in most people, with some people (especially if they've had it multiple times), finding that the Botox lasts longer (e.g. 6 months). What you describe is highly unusual, and likely an asymmetry that you always had (which many of us have) and just became more aware of since paying more attention to that area as a result of your Botox treatments.
