Asked By:k_mcm

I have a slightly lazy eyelid when I'm tired/had a drink. I booked a botox appt but after reading online that lazy eyelid is a side effect of Botox I'm scared me getting Botox will make it worse. Just to clarify I'm not having Botox to treat the lazy eyelid, it's for my forehead and between my eyebrows. Will Botox make it look worse?
