I got botox under my eyes almost near the top of my cheeks. Now when I smile I have horrible wrinkles and bunching up under my eyes. Could this be from botox and will filler help correct this? There's a huge gap between my eyes and cheeks. Thanks

Answer: Wrinkling under the eyes with smiling The problem we have described is a common 1. One option is to let the Botox wear off and reevaluate. Another solution that I have been using with excellent success is superficial injection of Belotero. This is extremely technique dependent and requires significant technical expertise but can produce very nice results. Best of luck.

Answer: I would not continue with adding more Botox because if it is a lax skin, it would make it even more pronounced. After injecting Botox there is risk of compensatory reactions from other muscle groups, so when injected in one area, wrinkles and lines in other areas seem more pronounced. Moreover, Botox does not affect flex skin, only wrinkles caused by muscle contraction. I would not continue with adding more Botox because if it is a lax skin, it would make it even more pronounced. I would suggest you to talk to your dermatologist and look into other options to address these lines with chemical peels or laser skin tightening. Good luck
