Can Botox-Induced Pseudoherniation Be Resolved?

if there is a fat pad herniation from age, it needs surgery to fix it. If the muscle is weakened and the eyelid fat pad does not penetrate the muscle, but it pushes the muscle wall out, then that is a pseudoherniation which should resolve itself as the botox wears off in four months or less. If it doesn't, please see a plastic or oculoplastic surgeon.

Will your lower eyelids look better as your BOTOX for the lower eyelids wears off?  Not necessarily.  First, if your injector is not taking before and after photos in association with your treatment, you are getting care in the wrong place.  I suspect that you BOTOX treatment could make this a little worse.  But I also under if you have an issue that is unrelated to the BOTOX treatment.  A personal consultation with a real eyelid surgeon is what you need.  You may need lower eyelid surgery.

I cannot stress the importance of the pinch test to asses the elasticity of the lower eyelid skin. If when you pinch the skin there is minimal return to normal position, then periocular Botox is not for you.

I have seen this complication twice, and it has always resolved in about a 4 month period.  I would avoid Botox in the lower lid again.  If you choose to have the crows feet treated in the future, ask the dermatologist or plastic surgeon to stay away from the lower lid to avoid this while still improving the lateral eye area.

If the creepiness and pseudoherniation is indeed caused by the Botox, it will subside within 3-4 months, or maximum 6 months
If it doesn't disappear, there are 3 office procedure treatments: eyes by Thermage or Laser resurfacing (traditional) or Fractionated laser resurfacing. Or, failing those, an invasive procedure: Blepharoplasty.
Always make sure that you are treated by a Board certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon.

Pseudoherniation is by definition a false herniation: there is nothing wrong with the fat pad. The weak buccinator will regain its normal strength and you should return to normal after all the Botox has worn off. The creping will also resolve once the Botox fully dissipates. I have not seen patients with long-term pseudoherniation that does not resolve. Just be patient.; all will be back to normal.
