A bump under my skin, near my eye, forms when I smile. What is it, and can Botox fix it? (Photo)

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @bumpundereye! I would recommend a formal evaluation with a facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist. This bump appears to be a cyst. Unfortunately, Botox will not resolve this. Best of luck to you!

Photos demonstrate this medal lower eyelid "bump". First obtain sub dermal ultrasound examination to determine if a cyst or solid mass. Then best to have surgically removed by a boarded PSs.

An in person evaluation is needed to know for sure but the bump may be a small cyst. Botox will not address it. See a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon near you to learn about having it removed.

Hello! Thanks for the question. This could be a cyst or benign lesion. It could also be an aspect of fat which prolapses when you smile. I don't believe that Botox will fix this. It may be worth a small incision to remove the area if it bothers you. Hope this helps!
