Q. Is it normal practice to get drooping eyelids and a tired feeling around your eyes after botox injections. The person who gave me the injections said this is normal but I just wanted to get an opinion from another professional.
A. Thank you very much for your enquiry. No, in my experience it is not usual to get slightly drooping eyelids and a tired feeling around your eyes following treatment with Botox. This effect normally occurs if whoever has treated you has given slightly too much Botox to your forehead and has weakened excessively the muscles which would raise your eyebrows. To think, this can result in exactly what you described with a slightly lower eyebrow position which can cause heavy eyebrows. The good news, however, is this effect will be temporary but will last approximately 8 weeks. Following this, the next time you have treatment, it will be very important to mention that you had this effect previously and your practitioner can give you slightly less treatment in this area. I hope this information had been useful, and I wish you the best of luck if you do decide to go and have treatment.
