Ptosis with Botox injection

Isabel Zhu, MD, PhD answers: Preventing eye ptosis from Botox?

I keep hearing more and more cases of eyelid ptosis or "droopy" or closed eye from Botox. Is there a way to decrease the chances of this happening? Does it happen as often with Dysport as well?

Normally, to avoid ptosis of eyebrow, I will do a browlift when I am asked to perform forehead injections. Espcially when the injections are on outer part of foreheads.
