Eyebrow Droop After Botox? (photo)
I just went to the doctor and got my injection sites from her. I am 37 years old and was injected in July at 4 sites at the top of my forehead and in my eyebrows as well as the crow feet area. I was injected more than 2.5 units. In November I was injected the same places just no more than 2.5 units. It looks like she has been consistently injecting my eyebrows. Will this cause my brows to remain droopy even after the Botox wears off since it has been 2 years? Brow ptosis first began around Sept and has gotten much worse after Nov injections. Thanks.

Botox effect wears off after a few months
Botox injected into the forehead can result in brows falling. The effect of botox will always wear off completely. The ptosis that you have noticed may be the effect of the natural aging process.

Botox in the forehead and possible side effects
Botox is typically injected in the upper one-third of the forehead to try and minimize the risk of a brow drop which is more common in people older than 50. Injecting the correct amount, at the right depth and placement, you should have no problems - see a highly trained and experienced physician for optimal results and safety (e.g. dermatologist or plastic surgeon).

Botox can be administered for forehead lines high enough on the forehead to have an effect without compromising brow position.

Botox and brow ptosis
Botox wears off in ~3 months, so no, it can't cause brow ptosis long term. It's a little confusing, your description of treatment, however in the short-term, improperly injected Botox to the forehead or brow area can cause ptosis of the eyelid or brow.

Brow ptosis and Botox injections
Brow ptosis is technique dependent. If injected too low, it can cause brow ptosis. My goal is to soften the forehead look not remove all the lines.

Eyebrow ptosis following botox
Having an eyebrow ptosis or being "droopy" as you describe it is an unfortunate risk of botox injection. This can happen especially when botox is injected incorrectly into the forehead muscle and in certain areas of the brow. Most often this undesirable effect is the result of incorrect injection technique, but can happen infrequently to even the most skilled injector. Fortunately, the good news is it can often be corrected to a certain extent with small amounts of...

Brow Ptosis After Botox Technique Related
Thank you for your question and for sharing photos. The good news is that once your botox wears off, things will go back to their normal state. You will not be worse off than you were before. Brow ptosis after botox is a result of the injection technique. Botox can be used very effectively to shap the eyebrows by elevating them. I would recommend you discuss your concerns further with your doctor or consult with another expert injector to get you the results you...

Botox is temporary
Fortunately or unfortunately, there is nothing permanent about botox. If you unhappy with the position of your eyebrows after injection, they will gradually elevate and the botox wears off and your forehead lines return. If you decide to have botox again, you may ask the injector to avoid injecting the lower forehead to prevent brow ptosis from happening again.

The good news is that Botox does not last forever. Whenever you decide to discontinue using it, your brow position should return to it's natural position.

Botox always temporary
If you are having an undesirable result from your Botox treatment, follow up with your surgeon. Typically however no side effect is permanent with Botox and resolves on its own.

Eyebrow Droop After Botox?
Not really sure your posted photos demonstrate brow ptosis as you have written? Best to obtain IN PERSON opinions.

Eyebrow Droop After Botox?
No, whatever drop of the eyebrow is being caused by the Botox injections will wear off if and when you stop having Botox injected close to the eyebrows.

Eyebrow Droop after Botox
First I think you mean 25 units of Botox? 2.5 could not have been done to all of those areas! I'm a little unsure of what your question is. In your second photo your eyebrows appear to be arched normally, at a good height, and even. In the first photo they may be down, just a bit, but still good. You said you were injected in July and November, but then say it's been 2 years? If it's been 2 years, this is the natural placement of your eyebrows then - it's not the Botox. Botox will wear off...

Drooping after Botox
Hi SP. Difficult to tell from the pictures where the concern is although it looks like you have the eyes open in one picture and closed in the other.
If you do have droopiness of the brow related to the injections, this will wear off in a couple months. Speak with your practitioner about it and let the product wear off fully so you can have a baseline picture again.

Possible eyebrow droop after Botox for 2 years
If you allow the Botox to wear off completely, you should have normal movement of your eyebrows. I am a little unclear exactly where you were injected into your eyebrows though, and for what purpose. Injecting above the eyebrow would normally cause the eyebrow to fall, while injecting below the eyebrow can help the eyebrow to raise.
