Botox: Q&A
Ask a Question
Fillers or Botox? (photo)
I have the worst wrinkles under my eyes and very pronounced when I smile...which makes me not want to smile ever! I have had fraxel done once 4 months ago under my eyes. I have finally saved enough money to have either botox or some kind of filler. I need an eye lift I know which I doubt I will ever afford. My question is which one will work best for me? or should I do something different. My mouth is very turned down as well, but my eyes upset me the most. I am 39 and live in Denver

Eye Rejuvenation
Botox can help with your crow's feet. Using filler or Botox elsewhere would likely be a waste of your money. From your pictures, you have bags under your eyes - excess skin, fat and loose muscle. Adding volume here with a filler will make this worse NOT better.
I suggest you see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.

Botox or Fillers for eyes
A combination of Botox and Fillers can be used to address the areas of concern. Botox will help with the crow's feet to the side of your eyes, while fillers can help with the volume lost below the eyes. The excess skin on the lower lids can be addressed surgically with excision or with laser resurfacing procedures.

Fillers or Botox
Two different questions as these are not used interchangeably- Basically fillers restore lost volume and Botox works to paralyze muscles responsbile for unsightly wrinkles. Often they are used in different areas of the face.

Under eye wrinkles are a complex problem
It seems from the photo that what you really need is to see a plastic surgeon to remove the extra skin under the eyes. Botox will only address the lateral crows feet. I think you would be wasting your money to try fillers or Botox in this area. I would consult with a board certified dermatologist for a true assessment who is familiar with cosmetic and experienced with injectables.

Fillers or Botox?
It would be great if one thing could address all your concerns, but unfortunately factors that contribute to the aging face are a little more complex. Botox over the lateral aspect of your eyes, would help with relax the crow’s feet that are contributing to the wrinkles you see around your eyes. You can consider Ulthera, which is approved for a nonsurgical brow lift, in combination with a fractionated CO2 treatment, to help with both lifting the brow, and the crepiness of the...

Improving the wrinkles under the eyes
The wrinkles as noted in your photograph would improve with a small amount of Botox and likely some filler like restylane in the tear trough. Surgery is certainly an option as well, as are chemical peels, ProFractional ablative laser resurfacing, and even topical therapies containing Vitamin C, retinol, etc.

Lower Eyelid Aging
One point to remember when considering the potential outcome of either a surgical or non-surgical approach to your lower eyelids is that this is a dynamic area of the face that is subject to change based on animation. When you smile your cheek moves upwards and compresses your eyelid into a shorter dimension resulting in a creased or wrinkled appearance. This distance lengthens when you are not smiling and therefore the lid appears smoother. This issue will remain to some degree...

Options for aging concerns
From the look of your pictures, if you are looking for a non-surgical approach, it appears that you would be a good candidate for botox to the crowsfeet and Restylane for the tear troughs. If you are trying to decide between botox or fillers that depends on what area you are more concerned about. Botox is very effective in smoothing out crowsfeet, glabellar lines (lines between eyebrows), lines around the mouth and forehead lines. When injected under the eyes, Restylane helps improve dark...

Save your money
People will spend hundreds of dollars on procedures that are not the actual answer to their issue. You need to have an eye lid surgery to actually be satisfied with your results. You can try botox and fillers but you will see minimal result. Instead of wasting your money on that, save for a few years and get the actual solution to your problem. You will be much happier that way.

Eye treatments with Botox
Based on the photo's you've provided, you're likely a great candidate for surgical rejuvenation of your upper and lower lids. Botox in conjunction with a dermal filler will help temporarily soften the lines and add volume where there is loss, but not provide long lasting effects.
