I had multiple forehead and crows feet Botox injections done 5 days ago as a booster from my first round 5 months ago. It appears he over-corrected as my right brow is now drooping so badly that I don't even really have an eyelid anymore. He says there is nothing he can do, that I will just need to wait it out. Is tthis true? If so, how long will it look this bad? Quite frankly, I'd rather have a wrinkled forehead than no eyelids. Appreciate any suggestions you may have.
