I had a Botox 6 years ago and the only reaction was both of my eyes drooped for approximately 6mos. Then, I tried doing it again 10 days ago. My eyes started to swell on the second day up to now (10 days). I have been taking Benadryl 50 mg plus Loratadine and still didn’t work. Pls advise.

Answer: Botox and Swelling Without photos, it is difficult to answer your question. However swelling can occur after any injection and this does not sound like an allergic reaction. I would follow up with your injector to determine if the swelling you believe is occurring is actually heaviness in the brow which can occur when Botox is not placed appropriately. Best wishes,

Answer: Eyes drooping and swelling after Botox Hi. I would follow up with the injecting doctor. It would be very unusual for Botox to cause drooping of the eyelids for 6 months as it wears off by 3-4 months. The swelling is also quite unusual. There is a possibility of being allergic to Botox if you are allergic to egg whites. Botox degrades completely by 3-4 months so any effects like this should subside by then if you are having a reaction to the product. You could try Xeomin in the future. Do follow up with your doctor on this.
