Answer: Droopy eyes after Botox Thank you for your question. Sorry to hear about the droopy eyes. It sounds like you are experiencing ptosis of the eyelids and brows. They eyelid portion can be partially corrected with the use of eye drops. Your physician would need to prescribe it. It will also wear off as the effect of Botox wears off.

Answer: Puffy Eyelids After Botox
Hello. It's difficult to see from the photo how much eyelids because we don't have the "before" picture. The good news is that because Botox is only temporary, the effects usually only last about 6-8 weeks.
The condition is called ptosis and it occurs when the Botox is injected incorrectly in the forehead. The product migrates to muscles that are not targeted. The Botox relaxes these muscles and causes the eyelids to appear heavy or puffy. Iopodine drops may help speed the resolution of the problem. Ask your injector about them.
As for the crease that remains in between the eyes, it looks like you may need some dermal filler. Your injector should have set the expectation that a deep furrow line like this might need Botox AND dermal fillers. Good luck.
