Weird creases in eyelid after botox. When I smile, I have little wrinkles on eyelid. Would getting my crows done help? (photo)

Question

Got botox done about 5 weeks ago and noticed on week 4, my left eye (right when looking at me) is pulling up on one corner, but pushing down on the other. It is creating a crease that looks awful. Got it in my forehead and 11s. I can feel my one eyelid pushing down and creating that crease. I do have heavy eyelids, anything to help with that?

Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. In the mean time, venus legacy and thermage treatments can give improvement. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  Without knowing your exact injection pattern it is difficult to offer definite advice but I do think that with a small amount of botox along your crow's feet you should see some improvement in your current results.  Hope this helps.

it is difficult to tell from the photos but another treatment with correct placement of Botox in the crow's feet area should help. please see a board certified dermatologist

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

I suspect a little too much Botox was placed in the forehead. Botox injection to the crow's feet will help raise the tail of the eyebrow but I think your issue is heaviness medially. For this, you will need to wait for some of the Botox to wear off. In the future, ask that a slightly lower dose be used in your forehead.

Jo Herzog, MD · Answer

Yes, I think a little in crows geet will help but I don't think that that is the real problem. Next time I would ask for less Botox in your forehead. Your brow seems to be heavy, not actually your lid. this might wear down in a few weeks but if it does not will be gone by around three mos and no harm done.
