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: 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.

Answer: Heavy eye lead one week post Botox It is common for the eye leads to feel heavy following botulinum injections like Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau. My recommendation is waiting the full two weeks post injection to make that determination. This can be adjusted with injections along the sides of your eyes to raise the eye brow.
