Will uneven Botox results get better?

I had Botox 3 weeks ago in between my eyebrows. I was told this would help give my eyes a little lift, since I don't have bad scowl lines in between my eyebrows. My right eye raised more than my left, which looked a little droopier! I went back for my 2 week check.She added 1 cc to my right eye to lower it a little, now it is droopier than it was before Botox! she put 2ccs in the outside corner of my left eyebrow to help the center lift more, but it doesn't look any better!

Is it too soon to tell,? Should both eyes improve?

When Botox is injected the balance between the facial muscles is disrupted. This is... more
