“Bad Botox for Undereye Bags”

Why in the world would anyone inject Botox into lower eyelid bags? Clearly, the family doc displayed his complete lack of training in plastic surgery (he has none), and his lack of knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. The lopidine is helpful for stimulating Mueller's muscle in the upper lid, and it *may* help in the lower lid by stimulating the inferior tarsal muscle, but ultimately the Botox is simply going to have to wear off. Fortunately, it's effect is indeed temporary and eventually the eyelid should be back to normal in about four months (maybe less if it was a tiny dose, or incorrectly reconstituted, or not freshly mixed). Good luck. It will go back to normal. --DCP
