Eyelid drooping began 4 days after having botox for the first time (to II lines and around eyes but not to horizontal forehead lines) and became progressively worse over the next 2 days, at which time the eyebrow raised on that side only. My doctor says my muscles are moving symmetrically, indicating that the drooping is not due to botox leaking into a muscle but rather to the trauma of the needle. Does this make sense? How long will it take to resolve? Will eye drops help?

Answer: Drooping Eyelid After Botox I don't know the details of your injection (dose, placement, etc.), However, this is most likely due to the Botox. Things will go back to normal once the Botox wears off in 2-4 months. Eyedrops may help temporary, but they don't always work. Make sure you find an experienced injector next time. Best wishes.

Answer: I'm sorry to hear about your side effect I'm sorry to hear you had an adverse event with your Botox treatment. Unfortunately, sometimes you get an adverse event happen even when your doctor does everything right and you follow perfect post procedure instructions.` It may just be bad luck. A much smaller dose of Botox will effect the small muscle that raises your eyelid, and therefore will be effected earlier. Your other muscles probably have not yet responded to the Botox 4 days post treatment. The good news is, that this is temporary and will resolve after a few weeks. Using specially prescribed drops will help to resolve this problem faster.
