3 months ago I had botox which caused drooping of one eyebrow. Although I now have what seems to be full movement back suggesting the botox has worn off, the eyebrow still droops regularly especially when I'm tired. I think it may be permanent and have read similar stories where it has never gone. Please help. Also will facial exercises help to raise drooping brows or is this a myth? Any other ways I can help myself? Thanks.
