Botox Did Permanent Damage

I had Botox 2 years ago. It made my eyebrows droop, my eyelids puffy and my eyes are difficult to open. To this day, my brows still droop and I have learned to force my eyes open. It has never worn off. I used to feel that my blue eyes were one of my best features. Now you can't even see the color.

Try facial exercises. The botox couldn't permanently paralyze those muscles, but the few months of paralysis could have lead to weakness, from which you haven't recovered. Do some internet research on facial exercises, and do those targeted at lifting the brow. I bet that will solve your problem. Good luck.

I would like to know if Christineetoile from Albuquerque still has puffy eyes. Almost one year ago I had Botox injected on my forehead and around the eyes and they are still puffy, not every day, but often. I never had bags before. the doctor who did it said that it never happened before. Thank you Antonella Italy

I had Botox done on my forehead almost 2 weeks ago. 2nd day I noticed the droopy eyes, but now one eye is getting better and the other eye is getting worse. and the vision in the worse eye seems to be affected too. They want me to come in to see if they can fix it, but i'm really nervous about that. I look like I've had a stroke...then to top all that off, while trying to make my eyes look wider, I was using my eyelash curler and chopped my dang lashes off!!! --pad fell off and I didn't notice. So now I really look off my rocker.

Nancy and Christine: I am so sorry to hear your stories. There are natural alternatives to Botox out there, more every day. Hypnox is my favourite. All-natural, safe, eco-friendly - and unlike Botox, Hypnox is a permanent solution. It works especially well on the lines between the brows. Best of luck to you both. Please do get in touch through our website - I will be happy to send you out a free copy. Joan

Me too. I have Botox injection to frontal area 2years ago. The effect is only partially reversed up to now. I am still unable to perform certain facial expression. I have tried some facial exercise, but it was never the same as that before the injection. So, I disagree with people saying that Botox injection is always temporary. It is NOT, in my case.
