Q. I had Botox done on August 11 & on August 20. I woke up with my left eye almost closed. I contacted my doctor immediately and she indicated that apparently some of the Botox had migrated to my eye. I was out of town at the time and she called in a prescription which I picked up and started using immediately. It was Alaphagan 0.1% twice a day. I leave to go out of the country on September 6 and am worried sick that my eye won’t lift.
A. Thanks for sharing and so sorry for your trouble.
Injectables such as Botox are both an art and a science. The depth of injection and the site of injection to achieve particular elevation, arch or rebalancing of the forehead, eyebrows and other facial areas takes skill and talent and a understanding of the dynamics of facial animation and expression.
Migration of any liquid injected is always a concern. In your case, the Botox migrated onto a eyelid muscle causing its relaxation. Until the very limited amount of this Botox activity “wears off”, your eyelid will stay drooped.
