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?

Answer: I still have a droopy eyelid 3 months after Botox. Could it be permanent? (Photo)
At your age, there are many elastic fibers present in your skin and your skin will rebound over any muscle or area of fat that is reduced in size. Just make sure you protect that elasticity by using sunscreens that have either mexoryl or micronized zinc oxide, and eat a healthy diet rich...
Thank you for your question. Depending on the extent of movement you have, you may require more Botox. I recommend having a follow up with your injector for an evaluation. Best of Luck!
Botox is definitely a quick fix to treat the wrinkles in your forehead. Botox generally lasts about four to six months in a given area. I am sorry about your Husband's health. Crying and stress can definitely age someone. I hope that things get better.
