Sorry this happened to you. :( It seems that some botox diffused into your levator palpebrae (lid-opening)muscle..this This can happen when the botox is injected too low below the brow, or when the botox injected is more dilute (so more volume needs to be injected), and diffuses downward. SOmetimes there is just no predicting what will happen in a given patient based on the individual differences in anatomy. Hang in there! In the meantime, you can use eye drops to help counteract the droop...one such drop is Alphagan by the company Allergan. Normally it's for glaucoma, but if you use one drop twice a day during this time it may help to give your lid a temporary lift with no bad side effects. The doctor who injected your botox should know this and should be helping you with this--i.e., writing you a prescription. Good luck!
