I had botox done on my forehead, eyebrows and crows feet on the 7 th of February two hours after injecting i have had rubbed my right eye, the second my right eye started dropping down untill its closed down now .does antibiotics helps in my situation?
Answer: Rubbing your eyelid after your service did not cause this. This type of ptosis which is truly severe only occurs when botox is inadvertently injected through an opening in the forehead bone just above the eye. A nerve and blood vessel normally travel in this bone canal. When botox gets injected into this opening, the botox can then track deep into the orbit profoundly affecting the muscle that opens the eyelid. It is improbable that this will wear off before 3 or 4 months. I had one patient that took a full year to recover. See an oculoplastic surgeon for a baseline assessment and this individual can carefully follow you. Try iodine. It is unlikely to work initially. When it does start to work, it will mark the time when the effect will begin to wear off. We found that once the drop starts working, the overall ptosis effect will resolve at that point in about 4 to 6 weeks.

Answer: Droopy eyelids after Botox This is an unfortunate side effect of Botox called eyelid ptosis. Please go back to your doctor who will prescribe some eye drops to temporarily open the eyes. Unfortunately you may have live with this for a few months. Don't lose faith in Botox this is rare complication and never rub your eyes after a treatment again!

Answer: Botox and Ptosis Unfortunately, what you're experiencing is ptosis, or lid droop, as a result of the Botox injections affecting the muscle that is responsible for elevating the eyelid. Like all effects of Botox, this is temporary, but will take several weeks to improve. In the meantime, your physician can prescribe eyedrops which will partially elevate the lid for a few hours at a time. However, the use of drops does not have any effect on the clearance of the Botox or the effect on the drooping. Best wishes.
