I had 40 units of Botox in my forehead 2 weeks ago and my eyebrow/eyelids fell. My eyes are getting fatigued halfway through the day from holding them up. I went back to the doctor and he put more Botox in the out corners of my eyebrows and the inner corners of my eyebrows. He said it would pull my eyebrows back up. I don't know why I let him do it, I think I was just so desperate to have a fix. I've had Botox a bunch, and this has never happened before.

Thank you for your question.I have seen reports of Botox being used to treat trigeminal neuralgia but not any effective reports for neuropathic pain in the hands or feet.BestDr Karamanoukian
A ptosis or eyelid droop is a complication from placement of the Botox. It will soften up in a few weeks but may take up to two months to go away. There are droops that your physician that can prescribe to "open up" your eye and I recommend that you start using them now. Best, Dr. Green
Botox is a great injection for reducing fine lines on the face that are from movement. There is no way to dissipate the treatment once the injections are given except for time. The effects of Botox can last up to four months. It is always best to consult with an expert. Best, Dr. Green
