Can B12 vitamins help eliminate Botox by repairing the nerves? I have severe eyebrow droop on day 6. Will this get much worse?

This will improve in 3-4 months after it has worn off. In the mean time, thermage/venus legacy and fillers will help improve lift this area. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Unfortunately if you already have a brow droop it likely won't get better.  You will have to wait 3 months for it to fully wear off.

It seems like you had too much injected into the forehead in relation to your glabellar or frown complex. Botox injected into the frown causes a lift and typically requires 20 to 30 units while the horizontal forehead lines typically require fewer units such as 10 to 15 units. You are also at day 6 and certain muscles groups can become less active over others. i would give it a full 2 weeks and you should be better.  Check back with your injecting provider and adjustments can be made to lift the brow

Thanks
for your question. B12 will not repair this, time will. The droop will improve
over the next couple of weeks as the Botox sets in. Usually, Botox lasts 3-4
months so this is temporary. Please consult with a board certified
dermatologist should you not see improvement. Best, Dr. Katz

Thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern.





At this point I think that the effect that you are seeing is pretty much what you are going to get. fine tuning of the amount of units should be the next step in the future.







Finally, make sure that your doctor is aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.



Wishing you the best in your journey

There is nothing to do to reverse Botox. Sometimes, correctly placed Botox can be used to lift brows which have dropped form Botox. This is done by the expert injector. If left alone, dropped brows usually last 4 weeks at most.

Thank you so much for your question. I'm sorry you are experiencing drooping on one side after botox.  It has happened to my face, as well.  I do have a lot of experience with nutrients such as B12 and, sadly, you can't reverse botox effects with the use of this vitamin since botox targets the muscle receptors instead of nerves.  However, there are eye drops available called Iodipine or Apraclonidine that will resolve the drooping issue if you place the drops in your affected eye three times a day until you feel that eye has returned to normal (usually a few days of using the drops).  I'm not sure, though, since you are in Australia, if you have access to these eye drops.  Schedule a follow-up appointment with your favorite injector and see if you have this option in your country.  Fortunately, this will begin to resolve on its own in a couple of months and you will be back to your normal self.  Wishing you so well on your journey.

Dear Melbourne911:Botox "wears off" at an average of 3 months. When such a brow ptosis following good Botox technique can occur due to asymmetric diffusion of the liquid through the tissues affecting more of the one frontalis muscle than the other. Since there is less Botox to the muscle, I see return of function faster than the directly injected side. I have no knowledge that B12 nor any other vitamin or minerals can reverse this problem. Helpful options include:Holding down the more active eyebrow while exercising upward the "lazy" brow several times a day.A nerve stimulation unit (see Amazon for facial nerve exercise stimulators) to the lazy muscle.Both options signal the brain to replace the acetylcholine in the nerve end-plate for muscle stimulation.I hope this is helpful. All the best!

Greetings Melbourne911,Thank you for sharing your question with us. Unfortunately an attempt to "repair the nerves" with B-12 will be of no value to you. This is so because Botox does NOT injure nerves it produces its effects on the muscles by blocking the neurotransmitter (nerve chemical) that tells the muscle to contract. The nerves are working fine and are "making the call" the muscle cannot answer. These effects will, on average, wear off in 3-4 months and are not permanent. If your are not happy with the outcome speak with your injector for your options to prevent this in the future. Be well. 

you are not yet at the peak and it may get worse before it gets better. B12 will have no effect but there are eye drops that will elevate the lid a little. ask your doctor for a prescription for iopidine eye drops
