I had botox 8 days ago, 20 unites only in between my eye browse to get rid off the 11s . I'm not happy about the result at all, first, I got bad reactions, tearing, my eye brows dropped, and my eye lid too, and that effected my eyes shape I hate it, my nose got swallen too! Everything around my eye got effected! Is there anyway that this will go away before 3-4 months? I'm so depressed, is moving the eye brows will help the botax go away faster?
Answer: When will the effects of Botox disappear? Unfortunately, the only treatment at this point is time. As you mentioned, it will likely take 3-4 months. I was unsure from your question if you do still have eye-LID droop. If you do, this can be treated with Apraclonidine eye drops that may raise your eyelid up to 2mm. Be sure your prescribing physician discusses all the potential side-effects of the drops, such as "adrenaline-like" symptoms like anxiety or heart pounding; you may also experience eye irritation, eye dryness, and eye pain, amongst other symptoms. If these symptoms occur, you will likely need to take some lubricating eye drops, lower the dose, switch the eye-drops, or stop the drops altogether...Again, the good news is that this is not likely to be permanent. It WILL get better.I would encourage you to seek the services of an experienced physician injector. I think the key lies in truly understanding the anatomy of the injected area, and more importantly the variability in the anatomy between patients -- for brows, the forehead, and anywhere else you plan on receiving a Botox injection. This includes having a firm understanding of the origin, insertion, and action of each muscle that will be injected, the thickness of each muscle targeted, and the patient variability therein. As an aesthetic-trained plastic surgeon, I am intrinsically biased since I operate in the area for browlifts and facelifts, and have a unique perspective to the muscle anatomy since I commonly dissect under the skin and see the actual muscles themselves. For me, this helps guide where to inject and where not to. However, with that said, I know many Dermatologists who know the anatomy well despite not operating in that area, and get great results.Good luck.

Answer: Botox injections for the glabella area I am sorry that you experienced a droop from the Botox. Some patients get improvement from Iopidine eye drops to help "open up" the eye area. It will take several weeks to months for the effects to resolve completely.
