It would be exceedingly difficult to inject Botox in the masseter muscle and have it diffuse to the eyelid (levator aponeurosis). I would have your lid ptosis (eyelid droop) evaluated by a qualified physician before trying to determine your next Botox treatment.
I have never heard of having eyelid droop after Botox injections to the masseter muscles. Follow up with your provider for more education and assessment of what's happening.
Upper or Lower Eyelid? The jaw is pretty remote from the upper and lower eyelids. However, if you were injected for masseteric hypertrophy and were injected high, this might affect the lower eyelid. Waiting is the safest response, but depending on what you want and where the doctor injects, this may not be unreasonable.
Injection of botox into jawline does not cause an eyelid droop. You should go back to your doctor or an internist to find out the cause of eyelid droop and only after have your next botox treatment.
Botox injected along the jawline or into the masseter muscles should not cause an eyelid droop. You should return to your doctor for assessment of the eyelid droop.
I think I answered this before in another query, but it is highly unlikley to get an eye droop after correct injection of botox for masseter hypertrophy.
It is very uncommon to get an eyelid droop after Botox to the jawline. How high did your injector go? Botox lasts for 3-4 months, so I wouldn't do more Botox until yours has worn off, but again, I've not ever seen an eyelid droop from Botox to the jaw......
It is best to have skin treatments prior to Botox and/or filler. Consulting with a well-trained and reputable provider will help you determine what will be your best treatment!
Botox will never effect a permanent change, but with serial treatments you will certainly notice atrophy of the muscle (thinning) and a reduction in the dose necessary for full reduction. Patients who have had 3-4 Botox treatments per year for several years will typically have very little...
The effect of swallowing botulinum toxin in the miniscule amounts injected for facial muscle adjustments will not have an effect even if it could be absorbed through the digestive or aerodigestive tract.
Botox would be unlikely to diffuse from the jaw to the upper eyelid to create ptosis. Is it possible these are not related?
Dclark Yes these are absolutely BOTOX side effects. They are cause for concern. The longevity of these symptoms can be days, weeks, or months. Obviously the longer the symptoms last, the less likely you are to have this type of treatment in the future. These are...
Thank you for your question. Botox in the masseter region usually takes longer than in the standard areas to take effect. I tend to use anywhere from 15 units (conservative treatment) to 50 units (for someone with really strong masseters) on each side to get the desired result. It may start...
