The angry looks got worse day by day. I now have this constantly staring look, too. People can not tell if I am trying to smile to them. Feel I have droopy eyelids as well. What can I do with this? Only to wait it out?

Answer: How does botox work? Botox treats wrinkles by treating muscles! Botox is commonly used on the muscles that "frame" our eyes. When we over treat one muscle in relation to the others, a change in balance occurs that does not look natural. This is a very common issue in treating the forehead muscle (or frontalis). Under treatment on the other edge of the muscle causes the "any" arch, while over treatment in the middle causes heaviness. As an oculoplastic surgeon and eyelid specialist, maintaining balance and symmetry around the eyes is the underlying goal I have with each of my botox treatments.

Answer: Botox Forehead I'm assuming that you are trying to raise your eyebrows in the post Botox pic. If so, the Botox did what it was supposed to do, i.e. block the forehead muscles from contracting when you try to lift your eyebrows. Unfortunately, you are now having to live with this result to a varying degree over the next 3-6 mos approximately. Since there is no pre- Botox pic with the forehead relaxed, it's difficult to say whether the eyelid ptosis was present before the injection or showed up after the injection when the eyebrows were completely relaxed. You need to go back to your original injector or seek a second opinion.
