After having Botox at the corner of my eyes I have indents under my eyes a kind of deflated look to the too of my cheeks, my under eye wrinkles are much worse & my crows feet have come back with a vengeance.I really don't want to make it all worse but it's getting me down I last had Botox around 4 months ago, will the deflated look improve?
You may get the best answer to your questions by asking the provider you gave you the last Botox injections if photographs were taken prior to the botox administration and then comparing those photos with your appearance now. Botox should not cause any long lasting effect. I have never seen crows feet worsening compared to baseline after the Botox wore off, nor am I aware as to how it would cause a hollowness of the lower eyelids.
I had 8 units of Botox to the upper forehead a week ago. I went back because a still had a few lines above my brows. The doctor said i needed to have my glabella done to support the forehead. So she injected 8 units into the glabella. The next morning my eyes were swollen and I have HUGE bags under my eyes, that were NEVER there before. This was my very first botox experience and I'm worried sick that these bags won't go away. Is this common, is there anything I can do?
It sounds that your doctor is very appropriate in the treatment plan. The units were not too high. I can't imagine how the Botox would have affected your lower eyelids unless you had the crows feet injected 8 days ago along with the forehead, but you made no mention of that. Possibly, if you had a numbing cream applied prior to the treatment the day before the glabella, you are seeing a dermatologic swelling reaction from that? Gravity often pulls fluids from swelling or dermatitis of the forehead down to the lower eyelids. There might be some coincidental occurrence of sinusitis, etc.
I read the paragraph below on an Oprah.com article, and was wondering if this muscle is commonly or ever frozen by botox injections? "When someone smiles out of genuine delight, a facial muscle called the orbicularis oculi involuntarily contracts, crinkling the skin around the eyes. Most of us are incapable of deliberately moving this muscle, which means that when a person fakes a smile, her orbicularis oculi likely won't budge."
To minimize and soften the crows feet lines, the Botox is purposefully injected into the outer corner of the eyelid to affect this muscle. This is the muscle that allows us to squint and most people can squint voluntarily so I disagree with the statement to which you referred in the article.
