Hi office,<\/p>\n

Hannah asked this Botox eye-droop question on email which I’d like to share with the rest of the office.<\/p>\n

In the case of an eye droop due to the Botox drifting, why is it that the eye droop only lasts for 2 weeks if the Botox is active in the system for 3-4 months?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s because the Botox wasn\u2019t injected directly into the eyelid.\u00a0 When a Botox droplet drifts into the eyelid muscle (Levator palpebrae superioris muscle) from the corrugator glabellar muscle \u00a0it would only be a tiny droplet and wouldn\u2019t last very long because it wouldn\u2019t be a full dose.\u00a0 The lower the dose of Botox, the shorter the duration.\u00a0 Sometimes when I inject (with the patient\u2019s urging) with a very high dose of Botox, I\u2019ve notice that Botox can last 5-6 months!\u00a0 I’ve found in my own Botox practice that Botox duration of action is dose dependent.<\/p>\n

Avoiding this shifting of Botox is why we have our patients refrain from rubbing or pressing on the Botox injected areas for about 4 days after the Botox injection.<\/p>\n

I hope my explanation is clear.<\/p>\n

Great Botox question!<\/p>\n
