One Eye Smaller After Botox

Hi. I don't have an answer for you. But exactly the same thing has happened to me. Except I didn't notice it happening until yesterday, 10 days after the treatment. I too would be interested to know if this will correct itself, but I doubt it. My right eye is smaller. But I felt the doctor put the same in both sides, so I don't know why only one eye is small. Weird. I thought I was the only one!

I had a consult and the doctor said he could not tell that one high was smaller.To me, it is obvious that the opening of the eyes are different. He did say that injecting Botox above the brow will actually lift the brow a bit and that one brow probably lifted more than the other, which may have opened up the eye. I go in again tomorrow for a laser treatment and will have him take another look. He may be able to correct it by putting more Botox above the smaller eye. So, actually the one eye is not smaller than it was before Botox, rather the other has a larger opening due to more lift. I'll let you know if he corrects it. Kind of bothers me that he doesn't see what I see. My daughter had to look closely to tell, but when I look in the mirror is very obvious. It will probably correct itself as the Botox wears off. Thanks for replying.

Thanks for the reply and advice. It does seem to be getting better already.

What has happened is the botox has diffused into the muscle under your eyelid. It will resolve in about 2 weeks. in the mean time you can get eye drops from the chemist (pharmacy/drug store) which will open your eye back up with in 15 minutes. Eyelid drop-"Ptsosis" is a complication of injecting botox`to either lift eye brows and the injector has injected midline of the pupil or the botox has alternatively the botox has diffused into the eyelid muscle. Your injector should be very supportive if this has occurred. More botox should not be injected to raise the eyebrow, because when the 'ptsosis' has resolved you will then have one eyebrow higher than the other. It is clear that your injector is not adequately trained in the the 'art' of botox injecting and its adverse effects

What you are describing is not an uncommon occurence. Brow droop or ptosis is not uncommon after Botox administration in the forehead. I would disagree with Ms. Kennedy - even the most experienced injectors can have brow ptosis every now and again. Botox is known to extend approximately a centimeter around the area it is injected. While great care is taken to inject far enough away from certain 'danger zones', side effects are possible. Fortunately it will wear off with time. If it is just the eyelid that is drooping, dilation droops can be placed into the eye which will open the eyelid for a short time - enough time to have photographs taken. The good and the bad thing about
