Dropped Eyebrow - Is this likely to get worse and drop further as the botox takes effect? (photo)

Question

I had 40 units of botox 2 days ago by a nurse. Not mu regular physician. After returning from work today I noticed that when I attempted to frown my right eyebrow is lower than the other. I'm worried. At this stage it's only when I frown. Is this likely to get worse and drop further as the botox takes effect? This has never happened to me before. Thanks.

Botox takes 2 weeks to fully kick in. You need to be patient and wait for the botox to take full effect, then go back for an assessment if you are still having the same issue.

Thank you for your question. Generally Botox takes up to 1 week to see results and final results in 2 weeks; therefore we cannot determine your final result in 2 days, so be patient. If this does not resolve, have a reassessment with your treating physician to evaluate your concerns. Best of Luck!

Botox usually takes 14 full days to see results. I would recommend you wait the 2 weeks then call the office and get a follow up if you haven't set a follow up appointment already. Best of luck. Thank you for your question. Please follow up with a professional in your area.

It is unusual to have this occur at 2 days but it certainly can and the Botox will not reach its peak until about 10days so it may get worse but there are eye drops that will help. See your doctor for a prescription if needed but give it until 2 weeks out
