Right eyelid droop 2 weeks post Botox. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your question.  Puffiness can be quite common after botox and may just represent some swelling.  Try a gentle massage with your fingers over top the swelling.  Begin near your nose apply slight pressure and massage out toward your ear. If this helps, it is likely just swelling.  Keep massaging and will decrease with time.  However, if it is actual drooping of your eyelid from the botox , massaging will not help.  Please see your injector as some special eye drops can help.  Thanks again, best!

Eyelid droop can occur on rare occasion after treatment with Botox.  It can happen even with proper dosage of Botox.  Fortunately it resolves in a few weeks.  See your doctor for an in person evaluation, as there are some drops that can help with the appearance of the droop.

It is difficult to answer this question without photos. That is because "puffiness" is not a common side effect of Botox. Injector would have had to inject a very dilute, fluid heavy formulation of Botox for fluid to buildup in the upper lid. I have not seen this before.If indeed this "puffiness" is actually ptosis of the lid, or lid droop, then yes, this is a known complication of Botox. If this is the case, your options are twofold. You can wait it out, which may take a few months. Or, your doctor can prescribe eyedrops which allow a tiny muscle inside the lid itself to add a little lift to the lid. Again, all of this depends upon an exam with your injector.Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

A droopy eyelid is a rare complication of Botox.  It will usually soften in a few weeks but can take a few months to resolve.  Using some eye drops  that your physician can help open the eyelid a few millimeters.  Unfortunately, you will have to wait till the Botox wears off but know it will wear off.

A ptosis or eyelid droop is a complication from placement of the Botox.  It will soften up in a few weeks but may take up to two months to go away.  There are droops that your physician that can prescribe to "open up" your eye and I recommend that you start using them now.  Best, Dr. Green
