I keep hearing more and more cases of eyelid ptosis or "droopy" or closed eye from Botox. Is there a way to decrease the chances of this happening? Does it happen as often with Dysport as well?

Answer: Eyelid Ptosis after Botox You say that you hear "more and more" about eyelid ptosis after Botox injections. This is because more and more people who are unqualified are injecting Botox. It is important that you go to a qualified injector and not just a spa or "Botox Party." However, even with the most experienced injectors, there is still a very small chance of ptosis. If this does happen, there are eyedrops which can help elevate the upper eyelid a few millimeters until the Botox wears off. Good luck.

Answer: Eyelid ptosis after BOTOX injections is uncommon. BOTOX is effective at reducing glabella frown lines, and eyelid ptosis occurs in less than 1% of patients injected by myself. The few cases I've seen have been mild, and lasted no longer than 6 weeks.
