I got 34 unit of botox in forehead/ eyes and I got ptosis in one eye. The doctor said she did everything right. I use the drops, and it helps for few hours. I hate using the drop as I wear lenses. I can't wait for the Botox effect to be over. The question is would you recommend me to get Botox again. I do not want this to happen again as I prefer wrinkle than ptosis in one eye.

Answer: Ptosis after botox Unfortunately ptosis after botox is an annoying complication. In the clinical trials of botox and similar products, they actually allow up to 2% risk of this occurring as acceptable. Thankfully, it's usually just a couple weeks that patients typically have this issue before the muscle recovers.

Answer: It happens but not common So most any injector who has any experience will have caused ptosis. It is rare for a skilled injector though.... I would not be scared from doing botox again just because of ptosis- if it happens twice then I suppose it is possible that your anatomy is varied but it is typically the injection technique
