When I look in the mirror washing my face first thing in the morning, my botox is way more active on one brow/eyelid than the other. One eyelid is baggy and the brow lower than on the other side. Later in the day it seems to even out. Does botox migrate within a small area like that--or is something wrong? Have you ever seen this? Thanks for any insight you can provide! -Natalie

Answer: Return to Provider with Concerns about Botox Migration Botox is a great product as we all know, and those of us who have been injecting this for a long time are thrilled with how patients respond and how safe it is — most every time. Please make sure you are going to a skilled injector — a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon should be the ones injecting Botox or someone under their supervision with the skills needed to make you look your best.Anytime anyone is unsure if their results are going correctly, they should call their injector and get into to see them to compare pictures and have an examination to see if you are experiencing any eyelid or brow drooping — we call this ptosis — and although rare in today’s world and with more and more unexperienced injectors, you need to make sure you are not having this. And if so, prescription eye drops may be used to minimize it for you.Botox takes effect within 2-3 days, its effects are usually set within 1-2 weeks and then the results should last for 4-6 months in most everyone. But if you have any concerns, return to your provider.
