It doesn’t sound like they know what they are doing or that you are getting the real Botox. If you indeed have eyelid droop (not eyebrow droop), injecting further Botox would not have helped. The lump is also unusual. Eyelid droop is extremely rare and related to poor placement of the Botox.
Botox – When will my brows lift again?
I had an unfortunate experience in that I had Botox injected in my forehead, and it fell. I asked the woman three times if she was sure my brows wouldn’t fall. She said they wouldn’t. They did. Now I have a tightness in my forehead above my eyes, and I’m getting headaches. I also look angry and tired. To compound matters further, I’d just had an upper bleph to lift my sagging lids and they looked great. Do I have any recourse with her or the PS for whom she works? I’m not happy…
Having brows fall from Botox is due to one of these 4 issues
- Unrecognized need for the forehead to lift the brows because of an inherent heavy brow. There are many people who subconsciously lift their brows and get wrinkles in their forehead. If you take that ability away with Botox, the brows assume their “normal” position which is low. Many middle aged men have this problem so I treat this group with less Botox or not at all.
- The placement of the Botox was too low. If Botox is placed too close to the brows, your brows will drop. In general, injections need to be about 2cm above the orbital rim (brow bone).
- Too much Botox was injected.
- Didn’t use the microBotox technique. Using the microbotox technique, the Botox is more evenly spread across the forehead and there is less chance for brow drop.
I generally treat the forehead with a conservative dose that that there still is movement. Some people prefer the frozen look but that’s not my style. By treating with less Botox in the forehead, the duration of action is somewhat less, but the results are more natural.
Corrugator botox problems?
I have had botox for glabella frown lines. I have had repeated doses after 2 weeks and it makes little difference. I am told I am mail using my corrugator muscles and that botox here would cause eyelid drooping and I should have dermal fillers instead, is this the case (I’m only 33yrs)?
Botox for someone with very strong glabellar muscles (corrugator) will not completely relax muscle
For someone that has very strong corrugator muscles, Botox treatment will improve but completely resolve the movement. Strength/”degree of frown” is graded from 0-3 with 3 being “severe”. In Botox clinical trials, a responder is considered to move at least 2 grades. So, if you have gone from a 3 to a 1, you still are a responder but you will still have movement. Also, there are about 15-20% that won’t respond, according to their (Allergan’s) studies (less than a 2 grade improvement). Over time, the people who respond but don’t go to 0, will have continued improvements with subsequent treatments at 3 month intervals in my experience. If you are a non responder, I would try Dysport or Xeomin. Hope this doesn’t confuse you. Steve Weiner, MD, Facial Plastic Surgeon, Destin, Florida.

Botox Side Effects Injecting Hands, Sweaty Palms?
Botox for sweaty palms works very well
Using Botox for sweaty palms works very well. Side effects are usually minimal, and consists mostly of soreness and bruising at most. Although none of my patients have experienced this, you can possibly have some minor weakness of the hand. In the past, I did nerve blocks which was unpredicatable and painful. Now, with using an ice technique, it goes very smoothly and quite comfortably. You can expect between 3 and 6 months improvement, and the more times it is done, the longer the results. I use 50 units per hand.

Can Botox Be Used to Change the Shape of my Eyes?
“One eye is perfectly almond shaped and the other is slightly larger and too round. I want both to appear almond shaped. Can botox and/or fillers help with this?” By injecting in the lower lid a small amount of Botox, you can loosen up the lid and make the eye look more rounded. You want the other effect, which you might be able to achieve by injecting filler in the upper cheek or tear trough area. However, it might look asymetric with unilateral filler, so be careful.
