I had Bell’s Palsy on the right side of my face in 2011. Before I had it both of my eyes would squint fairly evenly when I smiled although my right eye was slightly smaller. Over the years my right eye has looked smaller and smaller and my left eye doesn’t squint as much. I now have noticeable asymmetry at rest and my right eye feels both weak and tight (if that makes sense). an o/p surgeon has recommended Botox around my right eye. Is this the right treatment I am afraid my eye will droop

Answer: Uneven eyes, I had Bells Palsy in 2011, should I have Botox?
Thank you for your question! It does sound like nerve irritation- if from the botox it should settle but you may need a check up to make sure nothing else is happening - if there is any rash you may have shingles which would need immediate attention. Best of luck!
Thank you for your question. Results vary from patient to patient an can not be guaranteed. It may simply be that you need more units. I would suggest following up with your injector for an evaluation. Best of luck!
Unlikely to be a hematoma because hematoma will show signs of bruising as the heme breaks down from blood. The bump sounds small so give it time to heal. Massage the area. It is good that you can’t see the bump.
