Thank you for your question and for sharing your photograph Compassionate7338. I understand your concern. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. When injected into the skin Botox will relax the muscles and smoothen out the overlying wrinkles. The most common areas of treatment are in the upper face. These include the horizontal lines seen on the upper forehead when one raises the brows, the vertical lines seen between the brows when one frowns (frown lines), and the crow's feet seen around the eyes when one smiles. It is difficult to make an assessment without a formal exam in the office where I can view the skin in multiple angles and observe wrinkles formed with facial expression. However, I hope the information provided here is useful.Some people have narrow eyes that make them appear tired. A small amount of Botox (1-2 units) placed directly under the eyes can help to relax the muscle that goes around the eyes. This causes the lower eyelid to open up more, providing a more healthy and rested appearance. It is important to assess the patient before this treatment by doing what is called a snap test. A snap test demonstrates whether the skin is loose in a given area. The skin is pulled away from the face and released, allowing it to retract. If the skin is tight this retraction is seen right away. On the other hand, if the skin is loose, the skin will retract to its original position slowly. In this case, Botox is not recommended in this area. This is because the loose skin would not be able to close the eyes appropriately. If the muscle is relaxed with Botox it may be difficult to close the eyes and blink. This leads to dryness in the eyes, which can cause further complications. If I had a patient with the concern described here I would want to examine the skin at rest (without smiling) to determine if she would be a good candidate for the treatment described above.With any injection, there are risks such as pain, bleeding, bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness, and infection. We take special precautions to minimize these risks such as using a painless technique. We also treat bruises with a laser as early as the next day. Bruises usually resolve within two weeks if untreated. After a laser treatment bruises usually resolve in 1-3 days, but may still take two weeks for full resolution. In addition to these risks, with Botox there is also a risk that the product spreads or diffuses to nearby structures. Spread to nearby muscles can lead to side effects such as the temporary appearance of droopy eyelids or a temporary asymmetric smile. After a Botox treatment, I recommend that my patients avoid heat exposure, alcohol consumption, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours and not lie down flat for four hours. This is because all of these activities may possibly lead to the movement of the product and consequent side effects such as droopy eyelids. Although there have been no definitive studies shown that these actually occur and some physicians do not provide such aftercare instructions, in the absence of data I err on the side of caution and recommend that my patients avoid such activities. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
