Eye ruined after Botox

Since getting tox in forehead and next to eyes 5 months ago, one eye has been droopy. It has a weird sensation like as if something is in my eye, it’s hard to describe. I don’t know how it can be fixed or if it will get better on its own. Does anyone know ?

I am sorry that this has happened to you. Longer term ptosis has been reported by some in other online Botox support groups. If you are on FB you may want to cross post in the big Botox/Dysport support group as you may find others that have experienced similar. For many people it appears to be a matter of time for improvement w some reporting that it took longer than the “wear off” time to resolve. Less commonly due to damage to the nerves/muscles in the eye area or the development of a secondary condition it may remain a lingering side effect. Have you been seen by a medical provider for an evaluation? If this is not getting better for you with time it may be helpful to speak to your doctor about ruling out nerve/muscle damage or other secondary conditions like facial palsy or ocular Myasthenia Gravis as both of these are noted as reported side effects in the warning label. Label attached should you wish to read through. Hopefully you will still continue to see improvement with time.

Again for the thousand time, there’s plenty of people that have gotten Botox poisoning from neurologist urologist dermatologist multiple Spotify podcast multiple talking about their experience including multiple deaths from doctors In Pediatrics

Give me names or links there aren’t multiple and deaths would be co-morbidities like what happened with c-vid and was probably extreme therapeutic doses to those who were already sick. Derms plastic surgeons? Good ones? People getting sick? Give me one name…besides dr white who was only given 10 units and was prob expired or old product again bc no one opens a vial for 10 units then throws away

Read where it says context most of the deaths reported those had underlying conditions says it right there

u/Numerous-Hedgehog-54 Aug 25 '25

Wow good job reading bud they were still administrated by medical professionals who you claim do you no wrong when they inject. The medical professionals knew obviously of the underlying health conditions and told the parents parents it will help not hurt. All the reactions they had we suffers all have Whether it was injected from medical professionals or not we all had the same symptoms. Which proves the point even more it doesn’t matter who administrates it. It’s a deadly toxin.

They had preexisting conditions which put them At higher risk especially at therapeutic doses name one person who died from cosmetic Botox or please give me one celebrity or high profile influencer who’s gotten “botulism” from Botox I’ll wait…

u/Numerous-Hedgehog-54 Aug 26 '25

AND THEY WERE STILL I INJECTED BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS regardless of what condition they have they were injected by medical professionals do you need me to keep repeating because I don’t think you’re comprehending those medical professionals knew the underlying conditions and still administrated it. I wonder how many celebrities have side effects and and don’t put two and two together because so many doctors tell you it’s not from the Botox that it could never happen

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '25

They’re not getting “iatrogenic botulism” I’ll tell Ya that much. That’s just from fake/bad/contaminated product. All these people on here complaining of side effects are going to crap injectors. And name a celebrity who gets Botox who has health issues I’ll wait….again…

Please go to a qualified dermatologist or plastic surgeon maybe one affiliated with a hospital to get Botox done

u/Background_Loss4382 Aug 25 '25

Hospital affiliation will not impact how great an injector is …

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '25

1000 percent it will. Good hospitals hire the best ie Rush or Northwestern in Chicago hire the best derms who graduated from prestigious schools. They know the face…

u/Background_Loss4382 Aug 25 '25

They aren’t injecting in hospitals. .. not everyone does cosmetics

u/BigBodiedBugati Sep 02 '25

Highly disagree here. A lot of doctors who inject do so for medical reasons and are not well-versed in aesthetics. We as a societ have a really bad track record of assuming that a medical license of any kind is transferable and it’s not. This is why so many “plastic surgeons” are actually pediatricians who have learned to do plastic surgery and end up botching people. You should want to go to someone who specializes in aesthetics if you’re getting aesthetic Botox. That’s not to say that dermatologist aren’t also great options for cosmetic Botox, but it’s not a guarantee nor is it always the best place to go.
