Eye muscles over stretched from Botox

Botox is a fantastic product but it can cause unwanted muscle atrophy and weakness. Injectors often fail to appreciate how important the lower eyelid muscle roll is. It basically holds the lower eyelid up against the eye. The treatment can slump the eyelid. What you call swelling is likely due to this effect. The Botox weakens and atrophies the muscle. Recovery can take much longer than simply letting the Botox wear off. I think the time frame for recovery suggested by the plastic surgeon is realistic. In the mean time, please doing double down with other treatments.

Botox relaxes the muscles that it is injected into- but should not stretch out the muscles. The effects of Botox should wear off in 3-4 months for most people.

Application off pressure overnight may help this problem; soft padding and moderate pressure. That will take care of swelling. Good luck.

Each professional's viewpoint may be influenced by their own experiences and areas of expertise. Furthermore, it might be beneficial to consult with a specialist who has specific expertise in Botox complications. In the meantime, continue to closely monitor your symptoms and seek immediate care if you notice any worsening or new symptoms.
