Nearly Closed Eyelid After Botox Injections

May 6, 2009
Asked By:Lid in dispair in Texas

I have a history of unilateral Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) in the right eye. I had Botox about 17 days ago, and now, the left lid is almost closed. This exacerbates the appearance of the TED lid hyper-retraction. What can I do?
