Asked By:MaryAnn C in NJ

I had Botox for lines around my eyes and between eyebrows 6 days ago. My left eyelid is drooping badly (like Popeye). My plastic surgeon recommended Naphcon-A by Alcon, which I have been using religiously for 2 days. I see no improvement. Is this the best product or are there better products?
