December 16, 2018
Asked By:rsantosnlj in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I went to a board certified plastic surgeon to get Botox on my right eye lid because I have a eye lid twitch for over 3 months and couldn’t take it anymore. I also had him treat the crows feet at the same time he placed 4 units in my right eye lid. On day 4 my eye lid has drooped. I’m so upset. I knew that was a possibility . I know usually the Botox seeps into the levator muscle causing this what about if your actual lid was injected? How long can this last? Today is day 9 (picture)
