Is It Possible to Get Droopy Eye Lids Right After Botox Wears Off?

January 5, 2012
Asked By:Sharon T in New York, NY

I had botox injections between my eye brows, forehead and just above my eyebrows about 4 months ago. After a few trials to correct the shape/arch of my brows, the final end result was fine and I was pleased. However after about 4 months when most of the Botox wore off, I noticed that my right eyelid drooped significantly and it's been that way for more than 2 weeks. Can this be related to botox as I can't think of any other reason for this occurrence. Please help and comment.
