Unable to Lift Right Eyebrow After Botox

I have seen this issue before with Botox injections when administered by those who are not well trained. It
is imperative that your doctor has a very intimate understanding of the muscles of the face. Otherwise, you
run into complications like these. Thankfully, Botox wears off after a few months and you can reapply it with
a licensed professional. In the mean time, be patient, as you will begin to notice increased mobility of your
eyebrow as the weeks go by. In many instances a drooped eyelid recovers in 6weeks-3 months.

Hi Sydney.  As you have seen injecting Botox is not always a trivial exercise.    It sounds like you may have a good result for the right brow, but only if the relaxation of that side has not resulted in eyelid ptosis (sagging) which you also mentioned.

If you still have movement in the left brow, it may be that a bit more product.  As Dr. Huang has pointed out, the look you want to achieve can determine how much product is used so if having your right brow completely relaxed is not what you wanted, you should return and discuss expectations with your injector once more to try and revise it to get it right.

In answer to how long it will last.  It's usually 3-4 months before Botox wears off.

This is a common problem with Botox injections especially when used by people who are not well trained. In order to really use Botox effectively the injector needs to have intimate knowledge of where the muscles in the face are and what they do. Further, the injector must understand the variability and asymmetries that occur in normal anatomy.  All of this knowledge is then put to use and combined with the experience of the injector to achieve a predictable result. This process can not be learned in a weekend course by someone with virtually no knowledge to begin with.  You should return to your doctor and voice your concerns, a simple fix is to have a small amount of Botox placed above the Left eyebrow to lessen the symptoms. However, you will need to wait for several weeks, usually 6 to 8, to see the normal function return.
