I recently had voluma added to my cheeks to help with my under eye hollowness and Botox into my orbicularis muscle to help with bags upon smiling. The results are great except for short after I started experencing tearing of my left eye. I initially thought I was starting to get pink eye, but after a round of antibiotic drops, no change. Is this due to too much Botox? Will it resolve as the Botox wears off? Anything I can do to help in the mean time? Thank you!
Answer: Tearing from the eye? I suggest you see a medical professional for an appropriate diagnosis on your tearing. It could be due to relaxation of the orbicular muscle after the Botox injections. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: I would encourage you to be assessed by an ophthalmologist. The lower eyelids are slumped due to the botox treatment. This can affect the tear pump as suggested by others. Or you could be tearing because of increased corneal exposure. It can also be both. An examination by the ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon might get to the bottom of the problem. If it is due to exposure, artificial tear drops would be recommend. If it is tearing due to pump weakness, you will be carrying tissues for awhile. This can take weeks or months to wear off to the point that the tearing resolves.

Answer: Tearing after Botox Botox (like Xeomin and Dysport) is a medication injected into target muscles of the face to selectively relax them for fewer softer wrinkles.Excess tears starting a few days after a Botox injection is an indicator that the muscle below the eye is relaxed and not squeezing the lower eyelid. Squeezing the lower eyelid pumps the tears on your eye toward the drainage port next to your nose. When the muscle is relaxed the tears collect and then fall on to your face. This is go away when the Botox wears off. I would tell your doctor to avoid the lower eyelid area. Skincare is a safer option for the lower eyelid. Safety comes first.

Answer: Tearing after Botox to eye area This is caused by weakness of the lower eyelid. If you look very closely, there is more of the white part of the eye showing in the after pics (the sclera). The lid helps pump the tears away from the eye and if weakened, the tears will overflow and the eye won't be bathed with tears properly. This will gradually resolve.
