Eyelid Drooping, Ptosis from Botox. What Can I Do to Fix the Problem?

March 2, 2011
Asked By:aizza17 in LOS ANGELES

I had botox injected into my forhead about 2 weeks ago and now it seems that my right eyelid is not opening up as wide as my left. At first I was mortified and thought I had a seizure and developed a lazy eye but thank fully to internet research I found out that this could be ptosis and is a comman side effect of botox. The Dr only injected the top 1/3 of my forehead (torwards hairline) and I wanted to know if I go back to have between or above my brows injected, would it fix this issue?
