I woke up a few weeks ago to one eyelid appearing lower on my face, almost hooded. Im 23, so I didnt expect sudden wrinkles or anything of the sort. A couple days later I noticed some muscle soreness. I also went to my PCP to rule out anything serious, and they said I looked fine and it seemed like swelling. How long should I wait before I investigate ways to resolve this cosmetically? Could Botox or filler help? Before and after attached.
So this has happened both times Ive had Botox. The first time, I thought it was injector error, so I went to another place (reputable practice, saw a PA with many years of experience) and it still happened again. So Im wondering if its something unusual with my anatomy, and how to prevent it in the future? I would love any ideas on how to fix it if possible because the first time, it lasted 6 months. I had 20 units the first time and 16 this time. My forehead was not treated.
I had botox in my forehead and glabella 8 months ago. A week after I started waking up with upper eyelid swelling that ended up stretching my eyelid skin. I met with an ocular plastic surgeon who told me Botox wouldnt have caused the swelling. 3 weeks ago I had another round of botox, this time only in the glabella region and 2.5 weeks later Im again waking up with swollen eyes everyday. Can botox cause upper lid swelling or affect lymphatic drainage in the face?
I had botox injected into my forhead about 2 weeks ago and now it seems that my right eyelid is not opening up as wide as my left. At first I was mortified and thought I had a seizure and developed a lazy eye but thank fully to internet research I found out that this could be ptosis and is a comman side effect of botox. The Dr only injected the top 1/3 of my forehead (torwards hairline) and I wanted to know if I go back to have between or above my brows injected, would it fix this issue?
Both brows dropped significantly and I have puffy lids. I look worse! I'm over two weeks out, I had no idea this side effect could happen. Is there anything that can speed the process up of having the botox dissipate? Massage, muscle exercises???? Anything?????
Im 48 years old. I get Botox for crows feet and also had filler in the apples of my cheeks. I have a history of melasma but seem to have that fairly under control. Fraxel seems to worsen my melasma so I would like to avoid that.
A little over a year ago I began to experience twitching in my lower left eyelid. Since about May of last year, the twitching has progressed to both my upper and lower lids of each eye. Its not impairing my vision but is extremely irritating. Im ready to make a move and try Botox but Im not sure the route to take. I do not have insurance. Can I go straight to a plastic surgeon or do I need to see an ophthalmologist first? Please help! (I do not have insurance and plan to pay out of pocket.)
I had the forehead done, not the crows feet. Still have moderate forehead movement but my upper eyelids have sunken in. I read there are fat pads in the eyes but no where have I found any reasoning behind sudden loss with Botox. I cant even apply make up today on my eye lid as it is so sunken in. I understand the eye brows can sink if Botox is done incorrectly but I dont think that has happened when I look at older pictures of myself. Also that doesnt explain the hollowness. Please help.
Saw an Opthalmic surgeon today Used a stick eye test no measurements or pupil dialation etc but said not ptosis deep upper lid sulcus and fixwith botox to lower left brow. Im untrained but the eyelid looks as though it sits closer to the pupil on that eye to me.
