When Will my Eye Return to Normal After Botox and Thermage?

I had botox in my brow area, a week later I had a thermage treament on my eyes. The day after the thermage treatment one eye started to droop dramatically. One doctor said it could be nerve damage from the thermage, and another thinks possibly the botox leaked even after one week. It has been 7 weeks since the thermage has been performed and my eye is still drooping. I am very concerned because everything I have read says it should have resolved itself in 2-3 weeks. What are your thoughts?

Thermage and Botox

Thermage can be a very good treatment for those patients who refuse to undergo surgery and have a mild excess skin of the upper eyelid that is hanging down, or a forehead that is drooping and along with that its support for the upper eyelid is compromised. There has been no evidence of nerve injury from Thermage to cause a droop. Botox can create a peak effect more than one to two weeks after injection Dysport may create a quicker action of onset ).
