Falling Face from Botox?

Its been about two weeks post botox to forehead, crows feet, glabella and for some reason, in the lower lid. My derm claims she put a drop there.
My whole face is falling. The little elasticity holding up my cheeks is gone and now I look droopy and tired. How long will this last? I am quite miserable. After 10 years of botox, never had this problem. WHat is causing this meltdown? Please help!

hi
tough to say without before and after pictures, but botox only lasts for 3 months.
any effect like this should only last for a month or so.
it is surprising, though - i haven't really heard of someone's face just dropping. you may have received too much botox and in the wrong areas. another opinion from a doc in your area experienced in botox would be a good idea. you can go on the allergan website to look up who uses alot of botox.
