I am looking to reduce the force of my blink. One eye blinks hard, the other eye does not close fully and stays open in the sun, etc. (nerve damage from brain tumor). Is there a way to use Botox to make my eye bigger and not blink fully or as strong to match the weak side? I actually think the strong side is hyper active to compensate for the weak side. In other parts of my face, Botox has been success in reducing this hyperactivity. Is it possible for my eye?

Thank you for your question! It can take up to 2 weeks for final results with Botox. I would wait a full 2 weeks before assessing results. However, try not to worry, it is unlikely to cause drooping based on your photos. Best of luck!
Allergic reactions to Botox are very rare. From your description it sounds as if your skin is reacting to the ZO Medical products. You may want to stop using the products until you can discuss the situation with your doctor.
