Blurred Vision
After the Botox is injected, the eyes can become very irritated and dry, and can go quite bloodshot and red. This irritation can then increase into blurred vision and the inability to see correctly.
It is perfectly normal after having wrinkle smoothing injections in your forehead, for your brow and eyelids to feel heavy.
Vision Changes
Spread of Botox can cause changes in vision. This can include double vision, blurred vision, dry eyes, excessive tearing and drooping of the eyelid. If experiencing these symptoms, consult your doctor.
The symptoms are modest to moderate and generally appear within the first month of Botox treatment, and the feeling of flu should only last up to 24 hours. Common side effects usually include upper respiratory infection with fever and tiredness.
In rare cases, patients develop flu-like symptoms after their injections, and it is possible to feel fatigued. This is simply your body adapting to Botox. It is more common with patients who are new to Botox and after repeated treatments, it's not likely you'll encounter this particular side effect again.
Lid and brow ptosis from Botox usually appears a few days to a week after being injected. Usually, it gets better after three to four weeks.
Answer: Dry sore eyes after Botox
The muscles that contract causing crows feet are also the muscles that cause the eyes to blink. The most likely scenario is that the Botox injected to improve your crows feet weakened the blinking muscles to the point that your blink is incomplete, thus causing your eyes to dry out.
The heavy sensation will completely go away once your Botox wears off in 3 months. But it usually becomes less noticeable after a week or two. If this has happened to you, be sure to let your doctor know this happened next time you get Botox, so he or she can adjust your treatment to prevent this problem in the future.
Too much Botox in the forehead muscles can cause the eyebrows to droop, making the upper eyelids look very heavy and hooded. The face may look angry or sad all the time. Too much Botox around the eyes can dramatically affect facial expression. The face is simply frozen.
Eyelid droop often happens when the person giving the treatment doesn't have proper training and enough experience. They can inject Botox into the wrong area or use a dose that's too high, which leads to muscle weakness and droop. You could have trouble fully opening your eyes or vision problems.
Botox injected by an untrained hand can permeate the wrong muscles causing a droop of the eyelid, which will ultimately settle but can be very bothersome.
With Botox, “we're limiting the muscle contractions that lead to folds, so yes, it can feel funny in the beginning, because you're not able to move muscles that would normally contract on command,” he explains.
The first “true” results will be noticeable within 24 to 48 hours – when you'll see a softening of wrinkles. Why does Botox need a couple days to start working?
Specifically, injections on the forehead or between the eyes may spread into the eyebrows and cause the brow to lower, causing a droopy eyelid. In most cases, droopy eyelid occurs between one and three weeks after treatment, and patients typically experience this adverse effect for just a few weeks.

One of the most common side effects of Botox is dry eyes. To avoid this problem, it is very important that you seek the services of Botox specialists, people who are trained and skilled in injecting Botox for cosmetic reasons.
An upset stomach, nausea, or constipation can occur in 1 to 10% of patients. Symptoms are reported as mild or moderate and typically last a few days up to two weeks.
No, Botox shouldn't make you feel tired or sleepy. Botox is a neurotoxin that works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles in the treated area and does not have any effect on your energy levels.
A qualified, experienced injector should never inject the area near the orbital bone right above the pupil. If Botox is injected here, it can drift down toward the upper eyelid and cause an eyelid droop. This can last from weeks to even months.
Fortunately, droopy eyelids are always temporary and can be treated. Usually only a small amount of Botox reaches the muscle that raises your eyelid. Therefore, it will wear off faster than the usual three to four months that Botox lasts; typically two to four weeks, sometimes more sometimes less.
Here is a short guide of the do's and don'ts after having Botox. Do not rub or massage the treated area and avoid make-up if possible. Do not have any beauty treatments on your face e.g. facials, facial massage for 2 weeks- this may cause the injected solution to spread to nearby muscles.
Yes, Botox can cause droopy eyelids if it is injected in the wrong place or if too much is used. Because Botox is a muscle relaxing toxin, if it is injected into the muscles that hold the eyelids or eyebrows up, then this can cause the muscles that pull the eyelids down to be more emphasised.
Answer: Will Massage Make Botox Go Away Quicker? I'm very sorry you are experiencing unfavorable reactions to your Botox treatment. The unfortunate news is massaging will not change the longevity of the Botox; however the good news is the effects should soften soon.
