I have been getting Botox for about 4 years and everything has been great. This time when I got it, it made my one eyelid look like it was a double eyelid (kind of baggy). However, I thought I noticed that my eyelid needed a lift before I went this time, but now it's worse. And both my eyes are baggy in the corners. Both my eyes feel heavy. I'm 40 years old but never had any of these problems before. Will this go away when the Botox is out? Did she give me too much??
Answer: Botox can cause the eyebrows to move like a "see-saw" Botox can cause the eyebrows to drop in position especially if too much is injected into the elevators of the forehead. The balance in eyebrow position depends on precise administration of botox into the depressors and elevators of the forehead. If too much botox is placed into the muscles that elevate the forehead, then the net result is a downward or heavy position to the eyebrows often creating the look of a heavy upper eyelid. The opposite can be done if too much botox is placed into the depressors of the eyebrow and the net result can be a surprised or sinister appearing eyebrow. Both can be remedied either by allowing the botox to wear off or by administering additional amounts to the opposite muscles to reverse the downward or upward pull of the eyebrow muscles. This is kind of like a "see-saw" and if one person weighs much more than the other the see saw will land on that side.I hope this helps

Answer: Too much Botox may drop the eyebrows and cause the upper eyelids to look heavy Botox use in the forehead should be subtle. We prefer a relaxed, not frozen appearance. While the right number of units will vary depending how many horizontal lines a patient is seeking to treat, we find many patients fall into the 8-15 unit range for the forehead alone. A small amount goes a long way here.

Answer: Eyebrow drop after Botox Botox can cause heaviness of the brows and upper eyelid areas depending on the patient and injection technique. In a patient with heavy brows or brows that are being constantly held up by the forehead muscles, weakening the forehead muscles with Botox can cause the brows to come down and affect the upper eyelid area. This can often be counteracted by light treatment of the forehead and simultaneous treatment of the glabella and crow's feet areas, as these muscle cause depression of the brow.

Answer: Botox can result in eyebrows dropping Yes, you are describing a feared side effect. You may be experiencing:1) eyelid ptosis - Botox drifted into the muscle that elevates the eyelid - this can result in the one eyelid looking baggy, and one eye being hard to open all the way. This is a very uncommon side effect, but it is devastating when it happens. It will wear away, but can take several weeks.2) eyebrow ptosis - If only your 11's were injected, Botox also affected the the forehead muscle and weakened the forehead. Your eyebrow position is a balance between your forehead muscle and your brow depressors. This usually results in a symmetric drop of both brows and the inability to lift your eyebrows very well. This is a more common side effect than eyelid ptosis, and it too will wear away.

Answer: Yes, too much Botox can make eyelids appear heavy. Yes, injecting too much Botox in the forehead can make the eyebrows and upper eyelids appear heavy. The idea is not to be frozen, the goal is to soften your expression lines. Less is more!
