Worth It
Spent: $300 in Greensboro, NC

I had a frown line and the Botox got rid of it---but my eye drooped. My eye drooped but I still think it was worth it-----I don't know if I will do it again.

All the studies show that about 1% of patients have usually unilateral drooping of the eyelids lasting 2-3 weeks with Botox injection in the brow area for frown lines treatment. There are eyedrops that help tide patients over this period. I think it is the outermost injection site that causes the problem. I usually inject less Botox at this site and concentrate the dose more at the inner brow to reduce this problem. I don't do the outer injection in some patients. I have been successful using fillers alone for the frown lines. Best of luck.
