I had botox 4 days ago and i look terrible.I have been getting botox on and off for about 6 years now and i never had any trouble until now. I went to a different clinic, looked lovely had all the qualifications etc but im devestated with the result. when i get up in the morning my eyes are all puffy and heavy- it feels like i cant open them, my eyelids are hooded and when i try and frown i look deformed as my eyelids droop down.I still have a tiny movement in my eyebrows can anything be done?

Answer: Botox gone wrong The hooding and heaviness of your eyelids most likely is from injection of the forehead. The frontalis muscle is the only muscle that raises your brows. Botox here relaxes the horizontal wrinkles, but can drop your eyebrows. This sounds like what happened in your case. There is no other treatment other than time as the botox will ware off in 2-3 months. In the meantime I suggest you go back to where you got it and let the physician take a look at you. Hope this was helpful. Best regards

Answer: I agree with the panel that it sounds as if you were injected too low on the frontalis muscle. Thank you for your question! I agree with the panel that it sounds as if you were injected too low on the frontalis muscle. Time will resolve this issue, but I encourage you to notify your injector. Most injectors appreciate feedback from patients and will often do what they can to maintain a good relationship with them. Best of luck!
