Botox gave me droopy eye lid again! Why did this happen?

Hi you should contact the place where they did the treatment to see what they recommend and see why this is happening.The effects of Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) on the eyelid muscles causing droop (blepharotposs) can last several months. Occasionally the most dramatic effects are during the first 2 weeks. Other than Lopidine another product is Alphagan (brimonidine tartrate 0.2%) .These are products that can help,but I recommend seeing the person that did the treatment.

In addition to the amount of product used, the precise placement of your BOTOX injections is a primary factor in seeing optimum results. If you've experienced no previous issues with BOTOX until now, you might want to take a break from treatments for a bit. I'd also suggest visiting a different injector, preferably a cosmetic surgeon who is highly experienced with injectables, to get a second opinion. Best of luck to you.

Hello,Thank you for sharing your question.It's important to clarify whether you have an eyelid droop or an eyebrow droop. These can both happen with incorrect placement of the product or diffusion to a surrounding muscle. It's also possible that you have some existing eyelid ptosis and weakening the frontalis muscle caused the eyelid droop to become more apparent since you cannot compensate as well by raising your eyebrows.I recommend seeing an experienced board-certified injector that can assess your specific facial features and musculature prior to treatment.Hope this helps!

The issue is not the botox but how the botox is being administered.  I recommend you find an injector who know something about oculoplastic surgery.  Consider having my Microdroplet Lift procedure.  The reference below has a physician directory that can help you find an injector who performs this technique.

This may be due to Botox placement. Keep in mind, it can take 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox and the results resolve in 3-4 months. If you're unhappy with your final results, venus legacy and thermage treatments can soften results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
