Hi aish_malik,We have numerous patients in our office who have had Botox after Lasik (even much sooner than 8 months) without any issue. I have also not heard of Botox weakening your eyesight. I don't see any problem with doing Botox at this point. However, if you are concerned, you can always ask your eye doctor, just to be sure.

There is no contraindication to having Botox between your brows and around your eyes 8 months after Lasik. Your Ophthalmologist should be able to verify this for you as well.Good luck

Botox is very safe, and will not effect a patient who has had LASIK. I encourage all my LASIK patients to continue to use artificial tears as the best way to prevent regression after LASIK

Hi, thank you for your question. Botox only impacts the muscles we treat so there is no issue having this treatment post Lasix surgery. GO for it. Good luck!

You are perfectly safe to receive Botox after your Lasik procedure. However, you must know that Botox is not used to treat wrinkles under the eye area. It is used to treat wrinkles on the outside of the eye area also known as crows feet and forehead as well as frown lines and many other things but definitely not the lower eyelid wrinkles. Seek a plastic surgeon like myself to help you with your issues. Good luck from New York City
