Botox
Will my eyes ever go back to normal after botched Botox?
Botox generally lasts for three to four months. I would consider comparing current pictures with pictures taken before you received botox, so you can determine if this issue is new or pre-existing.
Clinical Context
Eyelid heaviness or eye asymmetry after Botox almost always resolves on its own, following a fairly predictable timeline rather than lasting indefinitely. Most people notice gradual improvement starting around four to six weeks, with substantial recovery by two months as the effect on nearby muscles fades. Full resolution usually lines up with when the treated area's results wear off entirely, roughly three to four months out. This happens because the toxin's action on the muscle is temporary, not permanent, so normal nerve-muscle signaling returns as it wears off. In the meantime, drops or minor supportive measures can help while you wait it out.
