Right eyelid droop 2 weeks post Botox. Any suggestions?

January 18, 2016
Asked By:chess4 in Toronto, ON

Two weeks after receiving botox for my forehead and 11s, I've noticed my right eyelid to be quite puffy. I suspect this is due to either too much botox or the injection too low. I'm wondering which is the best route to treat: The injector has offered to put a few units in to raise my brow. Or, wait it out. Wait for the botox to wear off a bit. What do you recommend?
