Drooping eyelids from Botox treating blepharospasm. Is it permanent? (Photo)

August 13, 2015
Asked By:elliekay in San Jose, CA

I received Botox six days ago to treat blepharospasm in both of my eyes. My neurologist injected the Botox on the center of my eyelid, the side of the eye, and under the eye. He did about six shots per eye, 12 total. One eye seems to be taking the treatment fine, however the other has been drooping significantly. I noticed it about 2 days after, but it seems to be getting worse. It is absolutely devastating. How long can I expect this to last, or will my eyes stay this way forever? Please help!
