Permanent Ptosis Following Botox? (photo)

Anonymous781
I had botox on my forhead 4 times in my life in the last 2 years, the last time being in Aug 2012. In the last year I noticed one eyebrow is lower than the other. I looked at pictures of myself from 10 years ago, 2 and 3 years ago and I did not have this before. If I use my muscle to raise the eyebrow then it evens out but otherwise they are definitely uneven. Did botox give me permanent ptosis or is this something more serious and unrelated? The 2nd pic is of me raising the lowered brow.
