Droopy eyelid and botox


Does Botox work for a drooping eyelid?

Yes, but only for a few weeks or several months at most.  Botox injections are not painful and the results are immediate. Moreover, the side effects are few. However, Botox is only a short-term solution and it can be expensive. Finally, there are too many people performing Botox injections. While some spas and salons use aseptic techniques, the majority of workers who apply Botox are not health care professionals. Most of these individuals have no concept of sterility, often reuse the needle/syringe and some even dilute the botox.

There have also been many instances where both health professionals and others have used fake or diluted Botox to get more bang for the buck. Therefore, in the end, yes, Botox is a treatment for a drooping eyelid, but it is vital to go to a reputable professional for your injections. Spas may be cheaper for Botox injections but you never know who is doing the injections and when your eyes are concerned, you want to be sure.
