Botox Didn't Work for Eye Wrinkles - Should I Get Fillers?

Botox is not used for and does not work for the wrinkles you are trying to great.  Botox works by weakening the underlying muscles which softens dynamic (movement) wrinkles in the overlying skin.  Your lower lid wrinkles are more of an anatomic issue which would require a lower lid blepharoplasty to treat.  Injecting filler under your eyelids - in your case - would not solve the problem either.  You do not have a volume deficit which fillers are used to treat.  Botox is a wonderful medication but only when you appropriately.

 

Good Luck.

Dear KSG

One needs to be exceptionally careful with both under eye BOTOX and under eye fillers especially since no one wants a treatment that makes them look worse.  The issue with under eye BOTOX (any BoNTA) is that one can weaken the muscle right under the eyelashes that holds the eyelid up.  This can cause the eyelid margin to fall or slump-not good.  This type of treatment can be done by it is really an advanced technique.  FIllers are generally a better alternative.  However, this is also an advanced form of treatment that requires both experience, a detailed understanding of eyelid anatomy, and the eye of a sculptor.  That is by way of saying that not everyone does as good a job.  In terms of which filler, Restylane is the product of choice for this location.
