Severely Drooping Brow After Botox. Any suggestions? (photos)

Unfortunately you are likely not the best candidate for botox and this will improve in 3-4 months after it has worn off. In the mean time , thermage/venus legacy and fillers will help improve this.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It appears that your frontalis (forehead muscle) was treated too low, and thus created ptosis or drooping of your brow (right > left).  If your brow depressors have not yet been treated (corrugator, lateral orbicularis) treating those areas may allow some elevation, however it will be unlikely to gain pre-treatment symmetry until the effect of Botox has worn off - 2-3 months on average. 

Thank you for your question and photo. I am sorry you have experienced a dropped eyebrow.  Botox lasts between 2-4 months.  You need an inperson examination to find the best treatment plan for you.  You can have some improvement.  Have a consult with an experienced board certified injector.  Best Wishes

First off, you don't have eyelid ptosis so don't let anyone prescribe drops for you. You do have a brow droop. It appears that your glabella injections might have actually been placed in the frontalis muscle and caused the inner part of the eyebrow to droop. This is a common error. It also causes the brows to look severe and almost vertically positioned. I recommend that you allow your Botox to wear off. If this is a one off event that happened with a physician injector that you trust then I wouldn't worry much about it. If this is a new injector or an inexperienced injector or a repeat problem, please seek a second opinion. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for the photos. I am sorry to hear you have a brow droop. This is a result from too much botox placed in the frontallis (forehead) muscle. The good thing is it will wear off in 2 to 3 months and should go back to the way it was before injections.  If you did not treat the corrugator or lateral orbicularis, you could possibly get some relief if you treat these areas. I would consult with an experienced injector to discuss possible ways to correct the issue.

I'm sorry to read about your unsatisfactory
results, fullbodiedred. As you mentioned, this outcome occurs when one muscle
is overcorrected. Unfortunately, your doctor is correct when he says waiting is
your only course of action. As the weeks progress, you should see your lids perking
back up to their normal positions.

It seems from the photo that Botox was injected too low and has caused your brows to droop.  Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do but wait for the side effect to wear off.

Sorry you experienced this but it is quite common and you are one of many.  Botox injections are an art and need to be carefully catered to an individual's anatomy.  In your case your brows are drooping and you need to use your forehead to lift your brows and eyelid excess skin.  While botox will improve your forehead lines it will inevitably droop your eyelids. As an eyelid specialist I meet a lot of patients just like you that have had this experience.  You should consider having an upper lid blepharoplasty instead of botox to achieve the best possible result. While it is surgery it will provide you with long lasting improvement.beat if luck

This is a well-known but not very common side-effect of Botox and is helped by using Iopidine drops. It will elevate the lid some and over a few weeks this will go away. Be sure you are seeing a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon

You should go back to see your injector.  Sometimes it can help to use prescription eye drops to help raise the upper eyelid.  Even if the problem is a brow droop rather than an eyelid droop, sometimes it can be beneficial to try to elevate the upper eyelid.  Other non-invasive things that could be considered would be some filler into the lateral brow to try to elevate the brow.  And perhaps a small amount of Botox to the lateral brow to try to weaken the brow depressors and get a small amount of lift. The good news with Botox is that the effects are temporary so any side effects will resolve with time.
