I had botox around my crows feet and juvederrm Voluma (1ml each side) in my cheeks for the first time 6 weeks ago. Not long after I noticed these white rolls/creases under my eyes which only appear when I smile. It's causing me great distress as they weren't there before and I went in to have my eyes look better. Can anyone shed some light on wether this is the Botox or fillers causing this problem? What can I do to help it? How long will it take to go away? Or wil they remain permanently?

Answer: Rolls/Creases after Botox While either the Botox or the filler are possible causes, I think if anything it's the Botox. However, there are a few possibilities. Relaxing some wrinkles in one area will often draw attention to or result in wrinkles in another area. It could also be that the treatment has highlighted some increasing skin laxity in the area. It might be helpful to compare pre and post pictures to determine what specifically has changed. However, the good news is that the effects of either product you had injected are temporary, and should return to baseline after time.

Answer: Creases under the eyes after cheek filler The crease is due to skin laxity as well as contraction of the inferior portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle creating what many dermatologists call a "banana roll". This will sometimes be more visible after cheek filler treatment and Botox to the crow's feet. I recommend treating your undereye skin laxity with radiofrequency tightening and collagen stimulation or fractionated 1550nm laser. See a dermatologist or dermatologic surgeon for expertise in treating the skin with lasers or radiofrequency.
