Swollen Eyelids After Botox. Is This Temporary?

Hi Glasgow.  It's very likely that the swelling you are describing is actually eyelid or brow ptosis (droopiness).  In some cases your injector will be able to correct this and in others you may have to wait a few weeks to a couple months fo rthis to reverse itself.  Contact your injector to schedule a checkup.

Dear Firefly

If your doctor injected the forehead, this causes the eyebrows to fall.  When this occurs the upper eyelid folds will look heavy in the upper eyelids.  Generally this effect begins to diminish after a few weeks.  However, this is an undesirable effect.  For this reason, I developed Microdroplet BOTOX to actually create a forehead lift effect rather then the usual eyebrow ptosis that is associated with standard treatments.

I have heard many phone calls over the years when Botox patients are convinced they have eyelid problems after Botox.  In nearly all cases, it was brow ptosis that was the problem.  Injecting orbicularis often can raise the brow back up.
