I've had Botox on my forehead, lower eye regions and crows feet. Now I have muscle contractions on my upper lid. It really looks bad. Is this normal? I will see my doctor tomorrow, but I'm concerned that he will suggest more Botox. Should I worry if he should advise so? Please help.

Answer: Botox...Hooding of Upper Eyelids After Treatment Hi Scared, I would discuss your situation with your injecting physician, and get a copy of where and how much Botox was injected so that it will not be repeated in the future. You appear to have excess skin laxity in your upper eye lid, not muscle contractions. I would advise allowing the Botox to wear off. Putting more around your brows may result in greater heaviness of your eye lids. Let us know how it goes. Good luck and be well. Dr. P

Answer: Muscles movement after Botox
When specific muscles that are treted with Botox become deactivated, others may want to compensate. In order to attempt to correct this it is very important to see how the muscle moves when activated and then attempt to address the concerns that you hae.
