I am 7 days post having 72 units of Botox injected in 3 areas (forehead, 11's and crows feet). I know it can take 2 weeks for final results to be seen however, I started noticing my right eyelid/brow "fell and looks heavy... eyelid now hooded" I have very little movement in my right brow and forehead while my left brow can still rise. I do not like the look of my right eye. Do I really have to wait 3-6 months for the Botox to wear off or can additional Botox be used to raise the droopy drow/lid?
Answer: Wait for Botox to wear off Sometimes as the Botox migrates causing the muscle to droop. This can happen in cases of inexperience or when too much of the product is used. Please ensure you are visiting a certified and well trained physician within a reputable clinic and not a beauty salon/spa or at home visit. This effect should start to alleviate within three weeks or so, but it will take the course of 3 or more months for the drooping to completely disappear. If you cannot wait this long, your physician may use Iopidine eye drops to restimulate the muscle and improve the appearance.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Heaviness should improve with time Hello!Thank you for your question and photo. As others have mentioned, sometimes the product may diffuse into surrounding muscles. This is more likely to happen when larger volumes are used. It would be best to re-evaluate the position of the lid/brow after 2 weeks to determine how much they have dropped. They are unlikely to drop further after 2 weeks but if you have true eyelid droop, eye drops can be prescribed to help raise the lid a couple millimeters. Hope this helps!

Answer: Heavy eyelid after Botox Asymmetry after botox can be improved but only by administering more botox to the side that has more movement. It doesn't sound like this is what you are looking for, it sounds like the side that has more movement is the side that you are more happy with. The right side which you said looks heavy and the eyelid is hooded will likely improve in a couple of weeks, but can take several months to totally wear off. Good luck!

Answer: Eyelid Drop From Botox Migration of Botox into the legator (elevator) muscle of the upper eyelid will cause ptosis or dropping of the eyelid. This can be treated by administration of drops by your physician. Otherwise the effects will slowly resolve with time (3-6 months). In general, even in patients with tolerance to Botox, I have not found it necessary to inject over 65-70 units total for the areas you have mentioned.

Answer: Heavy eyelid after Botox Your left eye brow is definitely heavy . Just wait 7 more days and see if everything will be counterbalanced when full effect of Botox takes place.
