Answer: Http://www.talroudnerplasticsurgery.com/botox.phpLower brow and smaller appearing eye after Botox
It seems that you may have had to much Botox injected in the frontal is muscle, the muscle that functions in brow elevation and creates the horizontal lines in the forehead. When the function of the muscle is eliminated the brows tend to drop down and create a smaller appearing eye. These changes should improve over a 3 to 6 months period. If it does not improve it would be wise to seek the advice of a neurologist for frontal nerve evaluation. In most likelihood your symptoms should improve. You should also seek advice from the doctor that injected you!
Good luck

Answer: Botox lasts for 3-6 months
Botox lasts for 3-6 months, with the large majority of people seeing it dissipate between 3-4 months. With that being said, you should be experiencing less of the drooping, and it seems you're not. That leads me to believe that if you don't see significant improvements in the next few weeks, something else may be going on. Botox is a neurotoxin that's injected into the muscles, so sometimes you can experience overinjection, or if your muscle layout is slightly different underneath, injections can be placed into the "wrong" spot for you, giving you droopiness that others wouldn't experience if injected into the same spot. I truly imagine that this is what happened to you, but if it doesn't start getting better, please consider seeing your injector and/or another doctor as it could be something totally unrelated to the Botox injections.
