Dents at Outer Corner of my Eyes (From Botox?)

buggabooAug 15, 2012
I have been getting Botox injected for crows feet for only about a year. I now have noticed a shadow or "dent" where the Botox was injected. My sister, who never notices anything, mentioned it to me yesterday. She said it looked like a depression area on both sides right at the crows feet where they inject. So now instead of lines, I have dark shadows there. Is this something normal? Can filler be injected there? I always thought the area was too thin for filler?

Eyelid droop can be corrected with a prescription eye drop (Iopidine 0.5%). This can help alleviate the droop within a few weeks to a month. You can also wait a couple of months for the effects of the Botox to wear off, at which point the droopiness will also go away. You should see your...

What you need is a different BOTOX injector.  The botox treatment you got paralyzed the frontalis muscle which is the main elevator of the forehead.  That in turn caused the brows to fall, bringing with it the sub brow fold.   When the botox wears off, the brows will return to...

This may be a droop of the lower forehead which helps the eyebrows sag and in turn, push down on the skin of the upper eyelid making it look puffy. It may not be the fluid of the Botox injection that is causing a swelling or puffiness. Your doctor can evaluate this during an examination.

Most people who have deep frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar region) are effectively treated by Botox injections to relax the muscles so the frown can't occur. After a while of maintaining this relaxation by having the Botox repeated before it wears off (3 - 4 months usually), the skin...

The storage of a typical bottle of Botox may only be a few days in busy offices. Most doctors use an off-label mixture of saline with preservative to mix their Botox and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks if needed, some may hold it longer but that again, is off-label.
