@the_twin_doctors: When Botox Goes Wrong 😑 You’ve seen the photos. A drooping eyelid. A crooked smile. A face that just doesn’t move the same on both sides. Here’s what’s actually happening: Botox works by relaxing muscles so wrinkles soften. But sometimes it doesn’t stay where it’s injected. It spreads into nearby muscles it wasn’t meant to touch — like the ones that lift your eyelid or pull up the corner of your mouth. When that happens, those muscles get temporarily paralyzed too. How common is it? More common than most patients realize. Eyelid drooping happens in roughly 2.5% to 5.4% of cases with less experienced injectors, but drops to about 0.5% to 1% with expert injectors . Experience and precision really do matter here. How long does it last? This is the good news. Most cases resolve within a month, though it can take 3 to 4 months in rare cases with higher doses. It’s not permanent nerve damage — it’s temporary paralysis that fades as the toxin wears off. Bottom line: Choose your injector based on training, not price. Anatomy knowledge is what stands between a smooth result and a crooked smile. #B#BotoxSafetyF#FacialPalsyC#CosmeticMedicineP#PatientEducationT#TwinDoctors
