Introduction
In general, drooping of the double eyelid after forehead wrinkle injections may be caused by excessive dosage or improper injection placement. This condition can be improved through warm compresses and massage, medication, diet and lifestyle adjustments, and post-procedure care. If results are unsatisfactory, aesthetic medical treatments such as radiofrequency skin tightening, Thermage, fractional laser, or blepharoplasty may also be considered.

In general, ptosis (drooping) of the double eyelid after forehead wrinkle injections may occur due to excessive dosage or improper injection placement. This condition can be improved through methods such as warm compresses and massage, medication, diet and lifestyle adjustments, and post-procedure care. If these measures are ineffective, aesthetic medical treatments such as radiofrequency skin tightening, Thermage, fractional laser, or blepharoplasty may be considered.

In daily life, warm compresses and massage can help improve eyelid ptosis following forehead wrinkle treatment. Warm compresses promote local blood circulation and accelerate metabolism, while eye massage can lift the skin and alleviate sagging. Additionally, medications such as vitamin C tablets or mecobalamin capsules may be taken under medical guidance. Regarding diet and lifestyle, consuming foods rich in vitamin C—such as kiwi, citrus fruits, and tomatoes—can support collagen metabolism. It is also important to maintain adequate sleep and avoid excessive eye strain. For post-treatment care, keep the injection site clean, avoid strenuous exercise, and attend regular follow-up appointments.
