In many individuals who undergo Lasik, there is a complaint of dry eyes. IF botox is agressively injected around the eyes, this could increase the sensation of dry eyes and is not necessarily a contra-indication but may necessitate the use of ocular lubricants.
you must check with your ophthalmologist when injections can be done around the eye area for botox and juvederm as they are the surgeon who did the lasix and only they would know if some swelling from the injections could interfere with your healing.
It is probably safe to have fillers (juvederm) after LASIK surgery, however, you have to be more careful with Botox, especially if you had recent LASIKS. Dr T.
I would strongly encourage you to touch base with the refractive surgeon or surgery counselor if it has been less than two weeks from surgery. Generally, I recommend waiting about two or three weeks after refractive surgery before having these type of services. By this time, thing will have settled from the Lasik, although you may still be experiencing some dry eye from the refractive surgery.
To be 100% honest my first recommendation is always to defer these types of questions to your OB. They really are the experts and I don't try to pretend I understand the risk assessment for making the beautiful babies!Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

The result of the unusual appearance, whatever that might be, could be a result of botox injected into muscles that shouldn't be treated, rather than an overdosage. There should be resolution of the appearance in several weeks to a few months at the latest. Sometimes things can be adjusted.
Were you referring to the radiofrequency energy device from Bioform, the No Tox, GFX? A needle is introduced to the nerve that contracts the muscle, and unlike Botox that makes the muscle inactive by inhibiting the juction of the nerve and muscle, this radiofrequency energy delivered by the GFX...
