I have an intermittent lazy eye (it drifts when i focus, but not all the time). My eye doctor told me botox could be used to fix the cosmetic aspect and make it less noticeable. Is this true? I though botox was for wrinkles.

Your picture is not clear and it is hard to tell by looking at the picture that you provided. From your description it seems that you are experiencing chipmunk cheeks. Botox results can take up to 2 weeks to settle and can last up to 4 months or even 6 months in rare cases. If you were aiming to...
It should be completely gone in 4 months. With some people it lasts a little bit longer but it is rare. Hang in there, it will go away before you know it. If you do not want to wait, you may seek an expert who can make you happy with your smile by adding fillers. Good luck!
If you are having twitches or tics I would recommend that you consult a board certified neurologist to evaluate you and treat this condition. Dermatologists generally treat cosmetic wrinkles with Botox and not neurologic conditions. Best, Dr. Green
