Lower Eyelid Surgery after Botox
Botox can cause periorbital swelling when used in crows feet. Wait for this swelling to subside(usually within a few days) before proceeding with lower blepharoplasty.

Eyelid surgery after botox injections around eyes
It is acceptable to undergo lower eyelid blepharoplasty at anytime after Botox has been placed. It is important not to have them done on the same day.

Timing of Botox injection around eyes and lower eye lid surgery
In general, Botox around the crow's feet should have little affect on lower eyelid surgery. However, just to be safe, I recommend waiting 10-14 days after Botox injection. By then, the Botox has a full effect and any effect from the Botox will be visible.

Eyelid surgery after Botox
Hello,
I'm unclear about what you mean by your eyes won't drain, but you can certainly have eyelid surgery after Botox. If it's been at least two weeks then you are free to have surgery.
I do, on occasion, have a patient wait 3 to 4 months for upper eyelid surgery if they recently had Botox for the crows feet because it will hold the brow up and it encourages the surgeon to be more concervative with his/her upper eyelid surgery.
