How to Get Rid of Botox Around Eyes?

Question

i got 25 units of botox around my eyes i hate it, can i massage it or use galvanic to help metabolize it quicker?Please i look horrible and my face looks so fat !!!

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

Although there is a rumor that increased metabolism may accelerate the disspation of Botulinum Toxin (Dysport and Botox), this is largely unproven. IT is best to do nothing, Attempting to correct this with another intervention could produce a worse problem

If you're not happy with your result, you should see your physician. There is no fast way to dissolve or eradicate the effect of Botox, but secondary effects in the adjoining areas can be made to improve by adding Botox in certain regions. The effect that you don't like will probably improve over the next 3 to 4 months if you can be patient.

Hi,

	If your brows are too high and the surprised look is what bothers you, then a small dose of additional Botox can help relax the brows.  See an injecting physician who is skilled and experienced.  Good luck and be well.

I read your concern and reviewed your photo. You appear to have an acceptable result: you do not have visible crow's feet with smiling. I'm not sure why you feel like your face looks fatter than before your treatment. If your doctor took photos before your treatment, it may be helpful to view these.

	You should start to see motion in the injected area in around a month. I am not aware of any method to reverse the effect of Botox other than time.

	I hope this is helpful for you.

Hi,

	From looking at your picture and seeing that your concern is that your cheek is fat, I think the issue is that the Botox did work to get rid of the crows feet around your eyes but you are concerned that now your cheekbones are accentuated.  When you have Botox in certain areas, you may notice that you now don't like certain features that were not noticeable before Botox.  Since Botox around the eyes doesn't last longer than 4 months and you cannot get rid of it with any method, I would just be patient and let your provider know that this is not an area you want to do in the future.

	Best,

	Dr. Liu
