First Eyebrows Were Raised Now I Have No Eyelids?
It is exacly two weeks since I had my botox done. By the fourth day my brows were etremely raised up. On day seven I went back to the doctor to have him look at it. He touched it up. For whatever reason the procedure itself was very painful. I could hear and feel the needle going in. Not like the first time. I still have a headache and my side temples are killing me. Now my eyebrow and eyelids completly drooped. I have no eyelids what so ever. What coild be done at this point?

Botox can be used to lift or lower the eyebrows
Botox when used in the glabellar region of the forehead between the eyebrows and at the outer tails of the eyebrows can help lift the forehead as these are the depressor muscles. If there is too much lift, then relaxing the forehead muscle above the lifted areas can help bring them down but it is doubtful that more botox in the depressors can help raise them if they were lowered too much. Allowing time to bring everything back to normal might be the best scenario although frustrating...

Botox treatment
Thanks for your question.
From your description is sounds as if you may have had too much Botox placed centrally at your initial visit without enough over the lateral frontalis which resulted in your elevated brows laterally. Your second treatment then resulted in the addition of too much or too low of placement of Botox which has resulted in brow ptosis. I recommend that you return to your provider for a full assessment of your condition and your concerns. The good...

Drooping Eyelids After Botox
Without seeing what the results are at this point in a picture, it is hard to make a proper assessment of your concerns. With what you have described it sounds like the best action would be to first make an appointment with the physician who performed the injection so you can address your concerns. Secondly it sounds like you may have had a little too much Botox injected. It would probably be in your best interest to allow this treatment to run its course and completely wear away before...

Perhaps you received too much botox
Hello,
Thank you for the question. Eyebrows that are too low after botox to the forehead can be a result of either too much botox, too low (close to the eyebrow), or a combination of both. The good news is that botox is temporary and it will wear off.

Droopy Eyelids After Botox
I generally wait 2 weeks for neuromodulators to take full effect, before making any corrections or adding more, as the effects from the original injection may not have fully taken effect yet. It sounds like too much may have been added to the forehead muscle to try to counteract the high eyebrow that had formed. You should go back to your provider and see if any can be put at the tail of the brow to possibly elevate the brow and counteract the drop you have. Good luck!

Botox and eyelid droop
It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing you in person or at least viewing pictures of what you are describing. It sounds like you're dealing with a potential side effect of too much Botox injected either in your forehead or brow area. Follow up with your provider, but it could be that you'll have to wait out the treatment and allow it to wear off.

Botox
Based on your description you are having a side effect from the Botox.
This side effect should disappear when the Botox wears off.
As it appears that this is not affecting your vision at this time suggest no further treatment as the Botox will wear off.
Since you are having this side effect it is best to discuss it with your treating physician. Your physician can decide whether you should have further evaluation to rule out any other possible causes for this.

Botox and cocked eyebrows
Aubreyrose, I hope this will not discourage you from trying Botox again. You didn't mention your age and I can't assess how much lateral brow mobility you have. As we age, our lateral brow start getting very mobile and are at risk of showing adverse reactions if the forehead is under or over Botoxed. Your initial 'Dr. Spock' look is when the frontalis muscle(the big forhead sheet of muscle) is treated in the middle but not laterally. The remaining...

Botox takes two weeks to fully work (Dysport one week). Try to wait before fixing any unevenness.
Aubreyrose,
Sounds like you had too much Botox in the central part of your forehead compared to the outer edges and your doctor added some in the lateral forehead area to even out the brow line. The pain you felt could be the tenderness that can sometimes occur when a small nerve fiber is inadvertently poked with the needle. This is generally annoying but not dangerous. What we don't know is how much additional Botox your doctor put in, where exactly it was placed, and how much you had...

Heaviness from Botox
It sounds like you initially had the "spock effect" and the touch up to fix it resulted in the heaviness you are now feeling. It should probably even out in a week or so as this is often temporary. Let your doctor see you again so they can know how you responded for next time.

Eyebrow issues and botox
It sounds like your doctor tried to adjust the Botox after you had too much brow elevation. Give it time to settle a bit. Good luck.

Botox and raised eyebrows
You should return to your physician for re-assessment. Because of the placement of your Botox and the strength of your muscles, you initially developed a "spock" eyebrow. This response is remedied by putting a small amount of Botox into your forehead above your eyebrows. It may lower your brows for a week or so, but then it usually evens out to a good result. You may require less Botox next time.
