I had cannthopexy done for both eyes 2 years ago... last year in December, I had Botox done for crow's feet, between eyebrows, forehead, and to raise eyebrows... now its been about 3 months. Just after the botox injection in December, I started feeling a twitch with my left eye.. the twitch is at the the line of my eyelash so its right on the eyelid. The twitch does not happen all the time. It happens sometimes and I can even move that part intentionally if I want to while looking at the mirror! i couldn't control those nerves before! I had a panic attack. I've just been to an eye doctor and he told me that the twitch can happen from the Botox. I didnt ever think it could be because of Botox. I'm so upset.!!! He told me I have to wait for it to wear off and to go back to see him again. My eye doctor said I just have to wait and see. You guys are smart, do you think this is happening because of botox? And if it is, will it ever wear off and stop twitching my eye?

I would not worry that a kleenex aggravated your botox treatment. Once the botox is injected, it only takes a few hours for it to "take hold" and you can really do almost anything after that without a problem.
Treating platysmal bands (neck bands that run down from chin to chest) with Botox is a great way to improve the neck angle without surgery. It is subtle, but pleasing, and has a very low risk profile if done by an experienced board certified dermatologist. Since price and degree of improvement...
To Ali M.,
Hi! There is no commitment to stick with Botox. Most people do stick with it only because they like the results.
If you are a good candidate, try it. The technique of injection is important, and you have to use the right number of units.
You will see the full effect in 2 weeks. ...
