I had injections over 3 months ago, for the first time, in my forehead. All was fine. However, the last few weeks I have seen the effects start to wear off a bit but at the same time I have a very heavy feeling in one eye. It feels droopy, heavy and I feel some pressure. Could the Botox be causing this effect after 3 months or do I need to go see a Dr about odd feeling in my eye. I have recently moved from the area where I received my injections so I can't revisit that physician. Thanks.
Answer: Botox migration 3 months later
I am sorry to hear of your current eye issues, but the toxin does not migrate 3 months after administration. There is another confounding issue at hand.
Be healthy and be well,

CONTACT NOW Answer: Heavy, droopy eyelid 3 months after Botox... A droopy, heavy eye 3 months after Botox to the forehead is unlikely due to the Botox. The full effects of the Botox are typically seen up to 7-10 days after injection, sometimes a few days longer but not this many months out.I would encourage you to see your physician for a complete evaluation.Good luck.

Answer: Botox wearing off 3 months later
If there is a heaviness three months after Botox was used, it is possible that there was a lifting effect of the forehead, eyebrow/upper eyelid area from the botox in the glabellar region between the eyebrows. As the Botox wears off you might be feeling the old situation of your sagging eyebrows/eyelids which you had forgotten about during the Botox effect of lifting. You might not have noticed the heaviness before the Botox as you were living with it every day for years as it slowly developed but now that it went a way for a few months, it came back and is now noticeable.
You should see a doctor for an in-person examination.

Answer: Botox migrating after 3 months
From what you are describing, Botox that was injected into your forehead over three months ago isn't likely the reason for your recent eyelid concerns, at this point. Discuss with your physician the onset of these specific signs and symptoms and ensure you don't have any other issues going on before you continue with the cosmetic Botox treatments.

Answer: This sounds like something unrelated to your BOTOX treatment.
BOTOX socks in very quickly after treatment. Certainly there is no free BOTOX at 3 months. Muscle recruitment can change as the botox wears off but that is not what you are describing. I recommend that you consider seeing an oculoplastic surgeon for an assessment of your drooping eyelid. The American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery maintains a geographic directory on their website to help you find a highly qualified surgeon close to home.
