Under Eye Wrinkles Caused By Smiling - Will Botox/Fillers Help?

You are very accurate and precise in your description. Yes these can be caused by contraction of the eyelid muscles which people do when smiling and this can be weakened with Boulinum Toxin. However this can cause more fullness of the lower eyelid by relaxing the muscles similar to relaxing your stomach muscles causes a fuller appearing belly.

However, you also push skin up to the eyelid when smiling with the zygomatic muscles and this cannot be weakened unless you want to look like you have had a stroke.

Gid Day ksg,

  You can have a few units of Botox properly placed to help your under ey smile wrinkles.  Choose your injector most carefully.  Good luck and be well.  Bee's knees!
