Eye Bags After Botox

Tags: under eyes, female, eye bags

I had Botox on my forehead, between the eyes and underneath the eyes. Have had botox under the eyes many times before but the doctor which I hadn't seen before injected 30% more. I now have extreme skin laxity and hallowness in the eye sockets and bags under my eyes and droppy brow. I went back and after 14 days had some injectible filler under my eyes to smooth out hallowness. I still look 10 years older than I did. Will skin tightness return under eyes? What treatment would you suggest?

Eye Bags After Botox

Hi, Very small amounts of Botox typically only 1-2 units are needed to get rid of wrinkles under the eyes. However, if you already have bags under the eyes, you should avoid Botox under the eyes since you will relax the muscle holding the bags in! Do not chase this with other procedures to improve this since it will wear off fairly quickly. Best, Dr. Liu

Loose skin after eyelids

Before you start chasing new problems such as long term results from fillers that won't look good when the botox wears off, it might be more prudentto be patient and let your naturalappearance return and then have Botox done the way you formerly had.

Botox around the Eyes MUST be Done CAREFULLY

Injection of Botox around the eyes must be done very carefully and with a full understanding of the consequences of what will happen in EACH area the Botox is placed. It is NOT a good idea to venture more centrally / medially along the lower lid. Doing so may smooth some of the wrinkles but in exchange will weaken the muscle which acts as a retaining net to the fat inside the eye socket. The result - loss of the retaining function, the fat pooches out resulting in bagging lids and a... more
