Botox Gave Me a Droopy Eyelid but Also Got into the Eye Muscle

meli79
I have a droopy eyelid from a recent botox injection, but aside from the droopy lid, the muscle has also been affected and my gaze is off (the droopy lid eye is very dilated and points upward). Will this go away in a few weeks, along with the droopy lid? Focusing my eyes is very difficult at this point. I am currently taking drops for the condition, but very concerned about my eye functioning (not to mention it's embarrassing).
