Asked By:becky1234 in Rockford, IL

Never had bells palsy. Had MRI with and without contrast with no difinative cause. Just went to a new neurologist and he injected botox into the lower eye on left side and left cheek. Also into right cheek to even smile. Smile is even but left upper eyelid is droopy and eye is dry. I can squint right either. Can the droopy eyelid be caused by upper eye overcompensating for Lower...if so will this go away when botox wears off...
