Can the side effects of botox injections be reversed?

Question

I have dry eyes which brought on blephraspasm, which brought on meige, which brought on dystonia, causing me great difficulty in speaking, can this be reversed if I never get another injection of botox around the eyes for the blephraspasm?

Michael Stefan, MD · Answer

The effects of Botox can be reversed with the use of an Alpha-adrenergic agonist.  Please see your plastic surgeon.

Steven Hacker, MD · Answer

There are eye drops for certain eye associated side effects with Botox. In my practice every cosmetic patient is addressed separately as there are no "cookbook" approaches even after almost 20 years of Botox and filler experience.We use many different approaches with Botox and various types of fillers in the same patient to achieve a optimal correction.  I would recommend you discuss your issue with a dermatologist board certified and experienced in Botox in your area.
