I scheduled this appointment to get Botox in the usual places - crows feet and the "11" lines. I also talked to my doctor about bags under my eyes that bothered me, and she said she could just add a little Botox to make it look better. Since she's the chief of plastic surgery at a major Portland hospital, I trusted her advice and gave the OK. Two weeks later, my right eyelid and right lip suddenly drooped - causing me to go to an urgent care clinic. They rushed me by ambulance to the ER, believing I was having a stroke. It turns out, the Botox below the eyes was the culprit! A neurologist told me it had "traveled" to other places and weekend those muscles.
Eight months later, my lip was back to normal... but 18 months later, my right eye still droops about 30% of the time. My advice to anyone reading -- DO NOT allow anyone to inject Botox BELOW your eyes! It's just not worth the risk and I regret that decision every day.
