My Left Eye Lid Droops After Botox, Will it Get Any Worse?

Mona in SJ
5 days after I had botox I noticed that my left eye lid droops and feels heavy. This is quite scary, can this condition be permenant? Could I have receieved permant nerve damage from this procedure? How long before this goes away? It has now been over two weeks, can the drooping get any worse or has it gotten as bad as it can get? Can this problem effect my vision?
