We have all heard and sometimes seen the horror of a person who goes for Botox injections and comes out looking shocked, like the Ice Queen with a frozen face. Botox is also known for giving exemplary results when done right by a qualified professional. For most people, droopy eyelids after Botox Bradford is a major concern. This blog sheds more light on this subject.
Botox and droopy eyelids
The botulinum toxin contained in Botox injections can cause paralysis. However, if properly administered, Botox helps reduce the contraction of the muscles that cause fine lines on the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet, thus eliminating aging signs. However, if the injected substance travels to the wrong area, it can lead to droopy eyelids after Botox, medically known as ptosis. These two areas are between the eyes or on the forehead.
Forehead
During Botox Bradford treatment, you can have Botox injected on the forehead to reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles. Once administered, the injection prevents the frontalis muscle that is responsible for raising the eyebrows from contracting, thus preventing the fine horizontal lines from forming. In perfect treatment, you will have a smoother face with no frown lines. However, sometimes this injection can cause the eyebrow to descend, thus crowding the upper eyelid. The result is a droopy appearance of the eyes.
Between the Eyes
Sometimes you need Botox Bradford injected between the eyebrows to eliminate the vertical frown lines that form above the nose. In some situations, some Botox may seep into the upper eyelid, thus paralyzing the muscle responsible for holding the eyelid up. This leads to the automatic dropping of the eyelid.
Botox injections are tricky and difficult to administer as you must ensure that the toxins do not go beyond the intended muscle. A professional cosmetic surgeon knows where to inject Botox and the correct depth to put it in to prevent surface migration.
