Hello, I had 3 units (one shot each side) of botox injected for each crows' feet area. I noticed that the injector injector a bit closer to my eye than usual, and now my eyes look terrible. How long can I expect this to last? Thanks.

Answer: Botox for treatment of lateral periorbital rhytids (crow's feet) The typical dosage for treatment of crow's feet is 10-12 units per side. What may be happening in your case is that the 3 units is only partially treating your wrinkles, therefore leaving a "terrible" looking transition between the treated and untreated areas. Such a low dose is unlikely to last the typical 3 months of a full dose. However, it may be worthwhile to be evaluated by an experienced physician as usually there are ways to "touch up" Botox results which may be less than satisfactory.

Answer: Botox and The Eye Botox typically lasts 3 months, but you will notice it wearing off a little sooner. 3U total should have done very little. The more units you use around the eye, the longer the duration of effect. I suggest speaking to your injector if you are unhappy. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.
