Eyelid drooping, Ptosis from Botox could it be permanent damage or some other problem after 12 weeks? (Photos)

corall123
10 days after botox to brow area I noticed drooping right eye. I was/still am mortified! I called my injector and described the problem and was prescribed apraclonidine drops. It has worked well to lift my eyelid but does cause discomfort and irritation. It has been 12 weeks since my initial botox and my right eye is still droopy. Shouldn't botox be wearing off? Is there anything else I can do? Is it safe to be using the apraclonidine for 10+ weeks?
