I am experiencing ptosis of the right eye. I had botox treatment 10/20 and woke up to ptosis on 11/01. Is this to long of a period for it to be associated with botox. And if it is botox related how long might this take to recover?

Answer: Botox question Dear yolanda360,Botox is generally an on off switch for muscle activity. Ptosis can be caused by Botox injections.Most of patients see first changes after 4-7 days and the final results after 10-14 days.It depends on the amount of Botox and area where it is injected but it usually last for 3-4 months.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am.
