Can botox be dangerous if too close underneath eye?

Botox can be injected safely under the eye when done by a trained and experienced physician. The key is patient selection. In fact, relaxing the muscle that encircles the eye can open up the eyes, maiking them look larger. A potential problem is dry eye, which can result when someone who has loose, lax skin under the eye cannot close the eye completely after receiving treatment. When in doubt, a "snap" test (gently pulling the lower eyelid skin downward and then releasing) can be done just prior to injection to make sure that skin snaps back into place quickly. The little squish you experienced was the Botox spreading to nearby tissue and no reason for concern.

botox can be injected very close to the eye...the squish you heard/saw was the fluid the botox was dissolved in moving into the surrounding skin...rest assured...seems like nothing is amiss...
