Botox Drooping Eyebrow Permanent?

Droopiness can occur if excess amounts of Botox was used.  This is a compound that blocks the release of acetylcholine from the nerves. Without this signal, your muscles will stay relaxed, as you have experienced. However,  as your body metabolizes this chemical, it no longer binds to the acetylcholine release sites. This may take a little while, longer if you are still experiencing some droopiness. However, this is just temporary as the other doctors have noted.

 



 

Thank you for the great question. Botox is temporary. For most patients, the effects last between 3 and 4 months. But for some patients, the effects may be up to 6 months. This will also depend on the dose used. Since you can actively move the muscles, it is likely that you are close to regaining the baseline level of strength required to hold up the brow. This can help to explain why you notice the difference more when you're tired. Regardless, it is important to see your physician to keep him or her informed of the situation and your progress.
