I hat Botox treatment 14 days ago on my forehead and the sides of my eyes. 4 days for ago, my eyes became so puffy I have no idea what to do with that. Can't leave home looking like that. How long will it last? I red about some drops that might help.. I have tried ice, even steroids- nothing helps

Answer: Botox for forehead and crow's feet You may have had a bit too much Botox and it will take about 6 weeks to not feel heavy. Since you have lowering of your eyebrows, not your eyelids, drops will not help. Sleep with your head elevated on a few pillows and avoid salt and alcohol which can cause more puffiness.

Answer: Botox treatment and "puffy eyes" It is important to remember that this single photo is limited and can't replace an in-person followup with your injector. However, there are several issues I see. I get the sense that your upper lids have dropped giving you a "heavy" eyelids. There is swelling in your lower eyes lids and malar region. Finally, there appears to be a bruise/skin breakage underneath the right eye. Did you also have fillers at the same time as Botox? The upper eyelid heaviness or "puffiness" is probably the result of excessive Botox injection of the frontalis (forehead) muscle which importantly is the only muscle tasked with raising the eyebrow. The lower eyelid swelling maybe due to excessive Botox injection of the orbicular oculi resulting in weakening of the muscle and prominence of the swelling/fat herniation that may have been kept at bay prior to Botox injection by the stronger muscle. The swelling may also be the result of filler placement if this was also done at the time of procedure, which would also explain the bruising. Again, I highly recommend you followup with your injector.
