BOTOX GONE WRONG, WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE IT RIGHT? 1 month post op. (photo)

So sorry you are having this problem!  Unfortunately, this is a rare, but documented complication which can happen after Botox treatment.  There are eye drops that are temporary, but effective.  Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.  Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  If you do have ptosis of your upper lid, the lopidine eye drops can be used to help with this. I recommend
that you maintain close follow-up with your surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Sorry you’re having trouble, you would need to be evaluated with animation to see if anything can be corrected, but in general you cannot elevate the side that is not moving. Vitamin B6 and Iodipine are potential options. Occasionally minimal treatment of the better side is necessary to provide symmetry in the meantime. Please seek an expert injector for any of the above.

With what you mention in your history and on examining your photo, it appears one of two things could be going on. Either the injection was a little too close to your frontalis muscle (the muscle which raises your eyebrows); or the Botox tracked down a boney notch of your forehead under the eyebrow to your levator muscle of the eyelid (we all have this notch area; it is relatively easy to feel). The frontalis muscle problem just needs time to go away because unfortunately there is no reversal agent available (three to four months). The notch issue described in the second scenario can be treated with Iopidine drops prescribed by your physician. I hope this has been helpful. Best regards.   

It is not possible to say much about your specific case without knowing the exact doses and placement, and what your pre-treatment appearance was. However, keep in mind that Botox relaxes muscles, so if it was placed into the forehead the expected result is brow drop. In the crow's feet area, the effect is the opposite because this is a muscle that pulls the brow down, so relaxing allows the forehead muscle to pull up unopposed. The problem with trying to treat at this point is that the Botox you might have now to balance things out will still be in effect after the previous treatments have worn off.
