Hello, I recently got Botox for the first time and heard it can also help with lazy eyes. My injector gave me a brow lift and now eveything looks worse. The lazy eye is worse. It looks bug eyed now. Any ideas to help bring this back to normal? I’d be happy with the lazy eye u had before other this

Answer: Ptosis and Botox In general Botox is FDA approved for three indications, forehead, glabella (11 lines), lateral orbital (crows feet). Botox is typically not used to treat ptosis or "lazy eyelid" In general, ptosis is corrected with tightening the tendon and muscle complex (levator muscle advancement). This elevates the eyelid which in turn decreases the eye brow elevation that is compensating for the low eyelid position. In general, patients typically wait for the Botox effects to wear off and then reassess your natural eyelid position and eyebrow position and have a consultation regarding correction of eye lid ptosis.

Answer: Lazy Eye Depending on how long ago your injections were, you could ask your injector for a brow lift on the right eye to make your eyes appears more symmetric. Otherwise, I would let the neurotoxin wear off (about 3 months) and your eye will return to normal.
