I had botox 4 weeks ago. About a week later my left eyelid started to droop. A week later nurse injected more into crows feet area but didn't help. A week ago I got a hard ref lump in middle of eyebrow and really puffy eyelid. It eased off but days later has returned. This along with the closing eye is very embarrassing is there anything I can do?

Yes it is possible to treat a large/hyperactive Mentalis muscle with Botox. As with all botox treatments the injections will need to be repeated to maintain the effect. Best wishes.
Neither I nor many people have likely provided a patient with CIDP with cosmetic Botox treatments. That said, it is not contraindicated specifically in the product monograph, but best to call Allergan (manufacturer) to check. You could consider a small injection amount to see how you react to start.
Typically 25-50 units of Botox is used for reducing the masseter and slimming the jawline. For a first-timer, a lower dose is often advised, but an experienced injector and a particularly large masseter could warrant a higher dose even up front. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology...
