Botox eye surgery gone bad?

[signe778]

Hello. I had an lazy eye that was pulling slightly inwards, so i got an botox injection to correct my eye, but now my eye is pulling outwards. It's now 3 months after surgery, and my eye has not moved at all! I am afraid that my eye is going to look like this for ever?. I also have a huge double vision, witch i never had before. Will my eye move back to normal? Because I really look insane with my eye pulling outwards. My doctor promised me that it will go back after 2 months, but it's now been 3 months and still no movement. Did my doctor give me to much botox? Or does it just last longer on me? Hope you can help me.

I have recently had the same affect as you with the botox, has your eye gone back to normal? I was told that it could take up to 3 months? What have your doctors said?
