I recently had Dysport to my forehead and 11's and now have inner eyelid drooping. I had 50 units @ my 11's and 18 units across my forehead. This is the 2nd time this has happened with 2 different injectors.

Answer: Forehead treatment with cosmetic botulinum toxin will freeze your forehead. The frontalis muscle in the forehead make forehead lines but they also support the eyebrows. It is 100% foreseeable that injecting this muscle with botulinum toxin will weaken and freeze this muscle and cause the eyebrows to droop. Encourage your injector to train as a Microdroplet Lift injector. This method isolates treatment to the eyebrow depressors. The frontalis is not directly treated but the amount of work it has to do is reduced because the eyebrow depressors are weakened. This creates natural brow lift without the freeze.

Answer: Eyelid droop after neurotoxin injection Thank you for the question. Based on the information you provided, I would not recommend getting this area treated again. We all have an anatomic connection between the glabella and upper eyelid, but yours may be more robust than most given your outcomes. This will resolve with time, and there is a prescription eyedrop that your provider can write you to give you temporary relief until the upper eyelid motion comes back. Good luck!
