After Botox I Have One Eye That Will Only Open A Little Bit, What Should I Do?

You levator palpebra superioris muscle was accidentally treated with BOTOX.  Initially the incidence of this complication was about 5%.  However, experienced injectors have figured out how to treat patients with a substantially lower risk of developing ptosis.  In the right hands, these are very rare.  Conversely, this is much more common in inexperienced hands.

Iopodine ophthalmic solution is used as an off-label treatment for this condition.  However, it does not work for 100% of cases.  It is my experience that it is only effective in mildly paralytic levator palprebra superioris muscles.  It seems that when the drops do work when there is only about 4-6 weeks left before the BOTOX effect wears off.  If the drops do not work, you can expect that the eyelid heaviness may last 4 to 6 months before wearing off.

Consider seeing an oculoplastic surgeon who can assess your eyelid status and follow you while you recover.  Generally I find that patients do not stay with injectors who drop their eyelid.  I think this is appropriate and would encourage you to find a new doctor for doing your BOTOX.

Botox injected either above the eyelid lifting muscle, or in the forehead, can cause the eyelid to droop.  Often the injector is well-intentioned, but Botox will relax muscles where it is injected, and the interrelationship of muscles is often complex.  Botox is not simply a wrinkle remover.

25 days is quite a while, but hopefully by 3 months things will return to normal as the Botox wears off.

Sorry to hear about your experience.
