I Now Have a Very Prominent tear trough on the left side where the ridge protrudes. I can only put it down to the botox. Can botox cause this and if so will it rectify itself as it wears off? The other tear trough is fine and Ive never had any issue with them before the botox. I also get slight tingling near the ridge.

Answer: Did Botox worsen tear troughs?
All good feedback from panel members as to possible causes and/or solutions.
Most importantly, we recommend that you return to your practitioner to address and photograph your concerns. A review of your photos prior to treatment will also indicate if your outcomes are directly related to your treatment.
It may be helpful to consider the possibility of using dermal filler (ex: Restylane) in the tear trough depression to provide more symmetry and to add volume to camouflage what you are describing.
We are very selective and conservative as to who is a candidate for under eye Botox injections as this area may lead to a negative outcome if there is skin laxity, fat bag, etc.

Answer: Depending on how the BOTOX was placed, it can affect the lower eyelid.

A photograph of your concerns would be very helpful. In general, yes crowsfeet BOTOX injections can diffuse and have an effect on the appearance of the lower eyelid. One of the surprising results occur when the treatment smooths the lateral lower eyelid wrinkles but leaves the inner lower eyelid muscles untreated. Paradoxically, this can actually make the over all lower eyelid much more tired looking. The treatment for this situation is just a time bit more of BOTOX in these inner eyelid wrinkles.
