Thank you for your question and photo. Botox treats an overactive muscle and limits its movement to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, while dermal fillers can address fine lines, bags, and discoloration under the eye. Fillers may be a favorable option in your case to restore volume in this area. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector. They will be able to assess your concerns, suggest the best treatment option for you, and inform you of the possible changes that can be made to your eye shape.
The eye area needs significant combinations to get improvement. Lasers like erbium, co2, halo, profractional/contour, or Fraxel can all be used to build collagen long term. Plasma pen is a newer less invasive option but will take many treatments and require proper skincare. Plasma Pen is focused electrical plasma energy to tighten skin, producing small columns of energy just above the skin, allowing the skin to tighten to help improve wrinkles. This area will have 3-5 days of small “dots” that will then scab and peel, then the skin will tighter and brighter after. Numerous treatments are needed over lasers where only one or two give a bigger result, but more downtime. After plasma pen you NEED peels 2 weeks like later Cosmelan, enlighten or aerify, see emeragecosmetics (link). At home derma rolling should be started weekly even after plasma pen or lasers to further increase collagen, see emeragecosmetics AERIFY x anteagemd stem cell ampules. To properly heal you need light Stim red LED, EmerageSkin refit face, refit eye; AnteageMD serum, silagen silicone gel, jan Marini bioshield, EmerageSkin enzymatic polish, and EmerageSkin hyla b and AOX, and Sente dermal repair. Otherwise there is EXTREME risk of pigmentation issues and “dots” in the treatment area. at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (AERIFY emerageskin roller with Anteage MD ampules) should be started now regardless for antiaging, sun damage, and wrinkle prevention. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning (if doing lower eyelid surgery) will be the best long term. There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery. Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels, and microneedling RF like Fractora, PiXel8 or morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.
Botox is used to treat dynamic wrinkles such as between the brows, the forehead, and crow's feet area. It can also be used to give a conservative brow lift. Fillers can be used to help contour and add lost volume to various areas of the face, including the lower lids. These treatments would not impact the overall shape of the eye.
Botox is widely used to "open" the eye, in your case you'd like it to do the opposite - not recommended. It's possible for botox to "pull" the upper-corners of your eye for a "cat eye" look but it's temporary and would be opening up your eye even wider (given the pictures) - which you don't want. It would be to your benefit to research "scleral show" and treatments accordingly. I recommend a Canthoplexy to reshape your eye towards what you desire with a possible Blepharaplasty to reduce any under-eye hollowness.Also fillers have the potential to reduce and eliminate hollowness around the eyes, but attempting to "reshape" your eyes through it would be detrimental to your natural beauty - you always want to look like yourself and maintain your natural look. It's important to know that surgery would be the only true option to change the shape of your eye, permanently; with results that you want. It would be a waste of your time and money to attempt to reshape your eye for a "more almond" look through injectables.
It is common to use botox to change contour. However, botox works to relax muscles. It would be very difficult to use botox to "tighten" the lower eye lid. In fact, botox used in relaxing the crows feet may make eyes rounder in appearance. Using Botox to change your brow shape may give an illusion that your eye shapes are different, so that maybe something to consider. Hopefully, this is helpful.
The answer is no but you can get a lift to your brow with Botox and restore your volume loss under your eye with filler. Consult with an expert injector ..Best of luck!
Hi, thank you for your question! Botox can help with asymmetry of the face. Botox would be a great start for you to help with the asymmetry of your eyes. I would place botox in between your eyebrows and also baby botox below the brows to help give a lift. I would place more botox on the right...
Necks respond beautifully to Botox; my toxin of choice is Jeaveau. I use it in two different ways. First, it's injected directly into the vertical bands or cords of the platysma muscle that stand out when you smile or shave. I use a different technique called MicroTox to get rid of the...
Hello and thank you for your question. Botulinum toxin has been used medically and cosmetically for decades- it is a temporary acting muscle relaxant and completely wears off. There have been no long term side effects of toxin use over time. I hope that helps answer your question. Always seek an...
