Puffy Eye After Botox Lasts for How Long?

the frozen effect is something you will get accustomed to in the next few weeks. You have been able to wrinkle up your forehead for your whole life unitl now and your body just can't deal with not being able to do so.  The puffiness you describe sounds like the forehead has brought the eyelid down with it to some degree.  Some women find it difficult to put on their eyeshadow unless they hold up their eyebrow pulling the upper eyelid skin with it.  This occurs when the forehead is treated too much, or too low for the type of forehead muscles you have.  There are women that I have treated since they were in their early thirties but now in their forties, with the skin starting to sag on the forehead, I am not able to treat as much of the lower forehead lines as we would like to treat because of the condition you might be describing. Treating the glabella in the forehead between the eyebrows and limiting the treatment of the forehead to the upper lines might be the most practical for you for the next treatment.

Hi Ao.  The frozen feeling you may not get rid of.  That feeling comes from the inability to "animate" or lift the forehead in the same way that you could before the injections.  It's a sort of numbness or dullness that comes with the territory and you will get used to this feeling.

The puffiness sounds like it may be a bit of "ptosis" or drooping of the brow.  This is a common side effect of Botox and happens when the Forehead or brow muscles are relaxed too much.  This causes the eyelid(s) to look heavy or swollen.  It will normally resolve between a few weeks and a couple months depending on how severe it is.

Injection of any neuromodulator, like Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Puretox is a scientific art. The object is not to make you feel forzen or cause your eyelids to be puffy. The main reason for both is injection of either too many units of the product and/or injection in less than perfect places. Fortunately, both of these unwanted effects go away in a few weeks. Next time, tell your doctor exactly what happend so that he or she can perform the procedure better on you.
