Botox negative effects
Usually any untoward effects of Botox ( i.e. eyelid ptosis) usually occurs within 7-10 days of injection.

Negative side effects of Botox show up early
Typically side effects of Botox such as a droopy eyebrow or eyelid develop within the first 10 days, and the duration of this is variable, and never longer than 4 months. If Botox is injected by a highly trained and experienced physician, the likelihood of any side effects is remote. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Adverse effects of Botox such as droop may be seen in a few days
Although it is rare to see a droop with Botox, it can be seen in the first few days and become more dramatic over a week, or even two. No muscular relaxation is permanent and it will go away on its own over 12 to 16 weeks. Some droops can be improved with adjusting Botox in other areas, such as treating depressor muscles of the areas, or even fillers.

Botox effects seen in 2-3 days
I counsel patients that effects of Botox are usually seen at 3-7 days, are maximal at 2-4 weeks, and disappear by 3-4 months. Occasionally, patients may start to notice wrinkle improvement within 24-48 hours.

How Long for Botox Side Effects?
Hi MMM. If you are going to see a side effect like eyebrow or eyelid droop this will normally be present after 2-3 days. We normally advise patients that the full effect of Botox will be seen within 1 week, but most of the effect is within 72 hours.
If you do not have any eyelid or eyebrow droop by that time, you should be free and clear.

How long does it take for Botox to work?
It generally takes 3-10 days for Botox to work--and this includes undesirable as well as desirable results. And then it's effect will wear off in approximately 6-9 months--both desirable and undesirable effects. So even if you do have some undesired droopiness, it is temporary.

Ptosis following Botox
Typically if you are going to have Ptosis (drooping eyelids) from a Botox treatment it will occur within the first few weeks after injection. If it occurs it may last a few days to six weeks.

Negative effects of Botox should appear within 7 days.
If a negative effect is going to occur after Botox it usually appears within 6 to 7 days. If you go past 7 days it would be extremely rare for negative effects to manifest.

Complications after Botox, such as a drooping, are very rare but will be seen within the first week.

Negative side effects of Botox
Most of the time Botox kicks in within 7-10 days so any negative side effects will have appeared by then. Hopefully you won't have any to begin with, though!

How long can you see negative effects from Botox
Typically, the effects that are involving small muscles (like eyelid drooping) last for a few weeks. The longer lasting effects such as eyebrow drop, can last for 3-4 months. Some of these effects can be helped with eye drops. Some can be improved with injections in muscles that counteract the one treated.
Overall, almost all of the effects of Botox or Dysport will be gone at 4 months.

In most cases the eye droop goes away sooner than the area that was intended for treatment.
Eye droop is probably caused by diffusion of a small amount of Botox into muscles the raise the eyelid. Overall this is usually only a small portion of the overall dose. In my experience, the droop goes away quite a bit sooner than the focused areas of treatment. Eyelid drooping happens rarely, but when it does, it usually improves within one month.

The effects of Botox, Dysport and Xeomin will all peak in several days, so if you don't see any negative siude effects by then, most likely they're not going to occur.

BOTOX Maximizes at Two Weeks
Cosmetic BOTOX effects may be seen within several days. Peak effects are at usually seen at two weeks. Then the effect declines over a period of months very slowly. If there are no complications within two weeks it is unlikely that any would develop later.

It is generally several days before an issue with BOTOX becomes clear.
Botulinum toxin products have an amazing safety record. Yet every drug has side effects including these products. Generally we distinguish two levels of treatment: doses associated with cosmetic uses and doses associated with medical use. While it is possible but not common to have mild systemic effects with cosmetic doses, much more serious side effects are associated with the dosages used for medical indications. It is these types of side effects that prompted the...

Botox usually works in a few days to a few weeks
When you get a Botox injection it usually starts to work in a period of time ranging from a few days to two week. The side effects you are talking about tend to happen because a muscle is weakened more than intended or a nearby muscle is weakened inadvertently. When that happens the side effect (like a droopy eyelid) happens when the Botox starts to take effect.
Botox wears off in 3-6 months for most people. So the side effect will not last longer than that. The good news is...
