I received 40 units of botox in my forehead and around my eyes 18 days ago. The same day i received voluma injections for my cheekbones and lips. My forehead feels heavy and paralyzed, and i am experiencing that hooded look over my eyes. Over the past couple of days, I have noticed the paralysis kick in around the sides of my eyes and now they are swollen showing all lines and veins under my eyes. This morning I awoke to the biggest bulging bags I have ever seen in my life.
Answer: Drooping Lids After Botox Thank you very much for your question. The full results from your recent Botox injections will take from one to two weeks to appear. Without performing an in-person examination, it is hard to provide specific information about your results, although incorrect Botox placement/dosing may certainly cause the side-effects that you mention. Luckily, these results are temporary, and will slowly dissipate over the next three months. I recommend that you contact your Botox provider with these concerns.

Answer: Botox settling period It takes 2 full weeks for the botox to settle. I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing these side effects. Botox is not permanent and will wear off in 3-4 months. It sounds like your issue could be a placement/dosing issue.

Answer: Drooping Brow After Botox It can take 2-3 days for Botox to be visible. To see maximum results of Botox can take up 2 weeks. Your hooded feeling can be from the Botox being injected to low on the brow. It is hard to say when the swelling will go down. Please contact your physician for an evaluation.

Answer: Botox and dropped brows Typically it takes about 7-14 days for Botox to reach it's maximum effect. Some people experience a dropped brow with Botox because they need the muscles of the forehead to raise their brows to a comfortable position which keeps upper eyelids out of the visual field. Sometimes, if Botox is injected too low the brow can lower and feel heavy as well. In regards to the lower eye-lids, botox injected can weaken the muscle that supports the fat of the eyelid causing an "eye-bag" to appear. Please know that this may not always be your result from botox injections and that it can be injector dependent. Please use only an expert injector who is a board certified Dermatologist or Plastic surgeon. These issues will resolve with time as the botox wears off.I hope this helps. Dr. Quenby Erickson
