I still have a droopy eyelid 3 months after Botox. Could it be permanent? (Photo)

Sky34
I had Botox 3 months ago for forehead and crows feet. The dermatologist injected without markings or squint of left eye. A week later I saw him regarding a left droopy eyelid. He gave me a refund and iopidine drops. It helped temporarily. It got a bit better in the 5th week. But 3 weeks ago it got worse again. When I use the drops it opens my eyes a lot. It becomes bigger then my right eye. But only last 4 hours. Could this be permanent ? If the muscle was injected too much or a nerve was hit?
