Botox and eyelid droop

Botox can help improve naturally droopy upper eyelids by relaxing the lowering function of the frown muscles. Botox used in the lower and upper forehead, depending on the areas injected, can lessen the elevating function of those muscles, thereby, lowering the forehead and with that, the eyebrows and eyelids.

For better or worse, the effects of BOTOX are not permanent.

The effects of BOTOX last on average 3 months - both the desired effects and side effects. Droopy eyelids can resolve quicker, and commonly last only a month or less. You can use eyedrops to counteract the effect if it is bothersome.

Droopy Eyelids from Botox

Droopy eyelids do resolve, yes, within about 6 weeks depending on how extreme it was. But you don't have to wait it out. You can return to your injector for an evaluation and possible prescription for specialty eyedrops that counter the ptosis, or droopy eyelids.

Droopy Eyelids

Rachael, Are you referring to Botox or Dysport? If so, this should go away. In the meantime, go see your healthcare provider that is very experienced in Aesthestics and have them evaluate you. Many times you can place more Botox in a different region to get that area to lift or you can use some drops to make Botox go away faster. Hope this helps.

Will the Droopy Eyelids Go Away, and How Long?

If you have drooping due to Botox, then yes, the drooping will resolve. Somewhere between 6-12 weeks it should go away completely. If you've had treatment of your forehead it is possible that you have an eyebrow droop. If this is the case additional Botox can sometimes be added below the brow to give it a small lift. If you have a true eyelid droop then the best option is apraclonidine eyedrops that will lift the affected eyelid temporarily until your eyelid droop wears off. I hope this... more

Botox and eyelid droop

It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing a photo, but it sounds like you should have your provider evaluate you. If it is actual eyelid droop versus brow droop, drops of Iopidine will help and it should resolve in 2 to 6 weeks. Those are prescription only. It is best to schedule a follow up for proper assessment and have your provider help you determine the next step.
