Why Have I Gotten Ptosis TWICE from Botox? Is It Me?

NOLA NOSE
In the past 3 years, I have gotten botox injections 5 times. The first 3 went great, terrific results. Then, 2x in a row, once w a nurse injector and once w a well known plastic surgeon I got the dreaded eyelid droop. Both times I got the droop, I was injected in my crow's feet area, but I've been told that this area wouldn't be the culprit. Prescribed drops cleared it up, but for 2 wks I was in dark glasses! Am I just a poor botox candidate?
