For the purpose of brow lift of my right eyebrow (i have asymmetry and the right eyebrow is lower), I got botox treatment in the following zones: frontalis and orbicularis muscl. After the 3rd day my eye got heavy and very hooded, agging eyelid.Now, it is 10th day and my look gets worse and worse. I think botox was badly injected,called my practitioner but she refused to put more botox. I think she was afraid not to make things worse.Could you advise me what ask for?Can't live this way 3 m.

Answer: Brow ptosis after 4 units botox in frontalis and in orbicularis muscles. What can be done to treat this? Hello @Philosophical647346, Thank you for your question. I suggest you wait until the effects of the botox wears off. Botox effect is not permanent, it takes 3 months approximately for botox effects start disappearing. Keep in mind that the characteristics of the facial expression are directly related to the application technique. For more information and recommendations, it is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: More botox will not fix ... There is brow ptosis and lid ptosis and it appears you have some brow ptosis, which is common and often not considered a complication of botox, as botox is used to decrease the movement of the brow elevator, the frontalis. More botox could only make this worse. Unfortunately the easiest thing is watchful waiting as botox usually wears off around 3-4 months, and in some even sooner. For any future injections, make sure you are evaluated by a board eligible/board certified plastic surgeon to express your concerns about your brow asymmetry and you can come up with a plan together.
