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?

What the doctor advised is correct. I assume you're talking about your glabellar lines, which are sometimes called the "11's." These are vertical lines that go between your eyes. When these muscles are relaxed, the upper forehead lines will sometimes move more, possibly creating more wrinkles. There certainly is nothing wrong with starting with the glabellar lines and seeing how you like the results before doing the whole forehead.

At the end of the day, it is about what you want. Give it some time and see how you respond. If you are happy, then you are done and can go back when the Botox wears off.
