I got Botox for the first time 7 days ago by a board certified dermotologist who I go to regularly. So far I hate the feeling of Botox and my right eye has been feeling heavier and stranger than my left eye. I still have swelling under my eyes, forehead feels tight and I am terrified I will get a droopy eye or eyebrow droop on my right side. Do you think this could still happen ? My dermo is away this week and I am so anxious. Can you tell if a droop is coming ?

Answer: Heaviness after Botox It is difficult to predict if your eyebrow will droop or not. You will not know for sure until about 2 weeks after your injection when the full effects of the Botox come in. The first time you receive Botox, the feeling of not being able to move is uncomfortable. This heaviness will wear off over time. If you continue to have concerns, I would recommend scheduling a follow up with your provider to go over your results and provide any touch ups if necessary.

Answer: Botox Hello. Thank you for your question. It does not appear that your eye is drooping from your picture. It takes a full two weeks for the Botox to kick in completely. Especially this being the first time you've ever had Botox, some areas may just be reacting quicker than others. I would give it the full two weeks before you start to worry. If in two weeks you have some drooping, go back to your injector so that they can fix it. Usually by the end of the two weeks everything should even out and feel better.
