Question

Dear Doctors! I had endiscopic mid face and brow lift 2 years ago. But still can't get used to the hypper correction of the cheeks and my eyes become very small. Got idea what if Botox can relax muscles which been involved into the surgery. If to relax orbicularis, zigomaticus and temporalis. Will it help to drip med face down and make my eyes more round ?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

When considering the use of Botox to address concerns following an endoscopic mid-face lift, it's important to understand the role that Botox plays in facial aesthetics. Botox is primarily used to relax muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as those around the eyes (crow's feet) or forehead lines. It is not typically used to address structural changes or reposition facial tissues.

In your case, using Botox to relax muscles like the orbicularis oculi, zygomaticus, or temporalis may not effectively address the issue of hypercorrection or the appearance of smaller eyes post-surgery. Botox does not have the capability to "drip" the midface down or significantly alter the position of your facial tissues.

It would be best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who can assess your individual situation and provide personalized recommendations. They may suggest alternative approaches, such as fillers or other surgical options, to achieve the desired appearance. It’s important to have a thorough discussion about your goals and concerns to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Please remember that each case is unique, and a professional evaluation is crucial to determine the best course of action for your specific needs.
