Had botox 8 days ago, between my eyebrows and under the curve Of both eyebrows, 1 Siringe in total.The 5th day my right eye lip droop. In 6th day i started iopidine drops wich opens my eye 2 mm but still the ptosis is noticeable. I read that if the ptosis starts the 5th day and after and if from the beginning my eye responds to the drops,ptosis will go away in 3 weeks. Is it true? Will it at least get better in 3 weeks so that the droop isn't so noticeable?

Answer: Ptosis Good questions and very sorry to hear you had this experience. It all depends on the actual spot where the botox was injected. Usually it is a spill over effect of the botox while doing the glabellar area and in that case in 3 weeks it should wear off. Now if the botox is actually injected into the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid then it can take little longer. In my experience its mostly a spill over effect and will wear off faster than the botox in actual glabellar area.

Answer: Eyelid ptosis Thank you for your question.The ptosis can last as long as it take the Botox to wear off. The Botox is causing the eyelid to droop and until it goes away, the ptosis can remain. In some cases adding some Botox in another area may help improve it, I would discuss this with your injector.
