I have been having Botox now for several years. The doctor has struggled with what he feels is a problem unique to me. Every 2nd treatment or so, 3-4 days after I receive Botox. I wake up in the morning and my eyelids are drooping, badly. The eyelid corrects itself by about 4pm.
The doctor did Botox in forehead and above brow, between brow, around outside of eye and cheek area. I had Botox done on January 16th and loved the results. On Friday, April 3rd I had it done again and by Monday I had the drooping. Comments?
Answer: Eyelids Droop After Botox Only Sometimes Regina, Fortunately or unfortunately, Botox is an art, though it is an art that uses science. The amount of Botox in each injection point and the exact location and depth of the placement will greatly affect the exact outcome. Moving the needle a few millimeters in one direction or the other, or a millimeter or two deeper, can lead to an unintended drooping that didn't happen at the previous visit. The problem may *seem* unique to you, but I assure you it is not. You may just have anatomy the doctor isn't as used to, or that isn't as forgiving as some of his other patients, but rest assured you are not alone. I would recommend seeing another physician, but the truth is, this may possibly happen with any injector. The key is how quickly he or she can learn your anatomy and make sure it doesn't happen repeatedly.

Answer: Droopy eyelids after Botox If you have a droopy eyelid, your forehead muscle will act overtime and lift your eyebrow to open your eyelid. This results in visual forehead wrinkles that is often treated with Botox. If the assessment is not done properly you will end up injecting more Botox units or Botox into the muscle resulting in muscle weakness, which will make it difficult to lift the eyebrow and open the eyelid. So the droopy eyelid that was cleverly disguised will now be evident
