Had botox15 days ago and when I wake up I look awful. During the day it sometimes gets a little better but I feel like a meanderthal. Im guessing my foregead has "fallen" down?? Is there anything I can do? Thank you :) First photo is my eye before botox.

Answer: What to do about heavy eyes after Botox The only muscle in the face that elevates the eyebrows is the forehead muscle (the frontalis), and if this has been relaxed completely by your Botox injections then your eyebrows will feel heavy and be lower. There is nothing to do to reverse this but wait for the Botox to wear off in 3- 4 months. The only thing that may help at this point, is to relax the muscles that naturally pull your eyebrows downward. The muscles in between your eyebrow (the glabella) and the muscles at the outside edge of your eyebrow (the lateral brow depressor) pull the brow downward. If these muscles were NOT treated in your original Botox visit, then return to your injector and have these areas treated. This may give you a bit of brow elevation while you wait for the Frontalis Botox to wear off. In the future ask that your injector not treat the Frontalis, or at least not over your eyebrows. Hope this helps.

Answer: Droopy eyes from botox This happens because the muscles that raise the eyebrows have been relaxed by the botox. Unfortunately this can occur when botox is injected into the forehead muscles. Sometimes injecting into the lateral edge of the brow may help to lift the eyes and sometimes eye drops will counteract the effects of the botox. You should discuss this with your injector. the good news is that it will eventually wear off in about 3-4 months.
