I have two lines under the eyes, but not big bags. I was told I can have Botox just under the skin there. I also have little lines on my top lip and was told that tiny amounts of Botox can also be injected there. Are these correct? Does anyone have any experiences for this procedure? Thank you.
Answer: Botox for under the eye Yes. This is correct, but these areas should be injected by an experienced physician as there can be droopiness of the lower eyelid, more swelling of preexisting bags and the lip can droop or you may find it difficult to give a big smile or pronounce certain letters such as “w” or “p” and others.

Answer: Botox works for under eyes and lips I regularly perform Botox in these areas. Most patients get some degree of improvement, but degrees of success may be somewhat unpredictable. Botox should only be administered in these areas by a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon as excessive amounts injected or improper placement may lead to functional impairments. I usually use only a few units under each eye to relax the fine lines and, in some patients, open the eyes up a little more. The upper lip lines can also be injected to soften "smoker's lines". These injections should always be started on the conservative side so as to avoid excessive denervation of the muscles of the lips and mouth. Patient satisfaction with these treatments tends to be high. Good luck!

Answer: Some patients find it very effective. Yes, in fact Botox can be used in these areas. In my experience, it does not work for all people. Before having Botox injected below the eye, your doctor needs to ensure that you have good elasticity in that area or you can experience a drooping of the lower lid. This is easily checked by a simple test in which the lid is pulled down and the response observed. For the upper lip line. Botox can be effective. Again, I find it does not work for everyone. I find a combination of Botox and fillers works best for this area. Be aware that after having Botox injected into the upper lip you may have trouble whistling or using a straw. All the best!
