My eye shape changed after I had Botox. They are now smaller and hold a very different shape. Are the changes permanent?

BOTOX -4 answers

My eye shape has change for the worse. They look smaller with saggy lids after 12 units Botox in my forehead and temples. I've totally changed the shape of my eye shape and size. My eyes had an exotic look and now that's lost. I saw the change happen in my left eye first and now my right eye has caught up. my left eye also has extra sagging in the lid giving them a lopsided appearance.Will my cat eye like shape and size return? If so how long? Is there any chance of permanent change?

You can go back to your normal schedule immediately after injections. However, there are only a few things to consider. After Botox injections you need to be upright for 4 hours and make expressions off and on for 1 hour. You should not exercise the remainder of the day and it takes 2-10 days to kick in. Otherwise, you can go on to your normal day's activities.

There is no downtime for Botox. At most you may have very small red bumps at the injections sites for a couple hours after getting Botox. In most cases our patients go right back to work after the injections.
