I got the dreaded Botox eyelid droop. Can more Botox lift it?

October 12, 2017
Asked By:nssvf in Los Angeles, California

I had Botox done 2 weeks by my regular dermatologist that I've been going to for years. One of my eyelids is drooping. I am going to go back to show them next week but wanted to ask here in advance if more Botox to lift the corner of the brow can help or if I should wait it out. I got a droop one other time many years ago & if I recall, they put more Botox to fix it, but I can't recall if it helped.
