A Drop of Botox Under Eye or Not?

A small amount of Botox under the eye is a great option if being performed by an experienced practitioner. If you were evaluated by a reputable doctor, I would follow their advice. Best of luck to you

An hypertrophic bulging orbicularis oculi muscle can protrude under the lower eyelid margin. This can be present since a youthful age but bothers many who have this as it appears that they are tired or old. It is not uncommon to treat this area with one unit or two of Botulinum toxin but it can weaken the support of the lower lid and should not be done in those who suffer from dry eyes, or who have chronic swelling from fluids, related to sinus, allergy or other problems. This is because the relaxed muscle won't contract and can no longer act to pump the retained fluid along the proper channels. Fortunately, this would be temporary if it occurs and goes away when the Botox wears off.

The decision to have this done should only be made between you and the doctor examining you.

Botox is very safe and proven in eyelid rejuvenation---however, only very small amounts placed very superficially should be used.

If you went to a reputable practice, I would follow their recommendations, so long as this area is something you are interested in treating. Relaxing the muscle around the eye can be overdone, but with the right technique and experience, it will help that area of concern.

A small amount of Botox for the lower lid is a very reasonable suggestion. It's very unlikely to cause much of a problem with a small dose. I think you should trust your Doctor's judgment.
