Britney Spears Says Botox Caused Her Left Eye to Droop and Is Now Recovering

She used an Instagram update to warn followers about injectable risks, stressing the need to pick providers carefully.

Overview

  • Spears said on Friday, August 7, that a recent Botox injection caused her left eyelid to droop and that the eye is just now starting to lift and look normal again.
  • In the Instagram video she warned followers to be cautious about Botox, saying some practitioners can seriously damage eyes and urging people to research who performs injections.
  • Spears said the treating doctor was embarrassed by the result and that the drooping lasted about four weeks before beginning to improve.
  • News coverage is based on Spears’s first‑person account on Instagram and outlets report there is no independent medical confirmation and that her representatives did not immediately respond to inquiries.
  • The episode follows Spears’s past posts about poor outcomes from injectables and fits with her post‑conservatorship focus on bodily autonomy, a pattern that could raise public attention to provider choice and safety for cosmetic procedures.
