have not had Botox in crows feet for 2 years because of getting chipmunk cheeks and hollows under the eye the last 3 times I got it. Got botox 2 weeks ago and it worked for the crows feet but now I have vertical lines on top of cheeks when I smile that were not there before. Could I get filler for these wrinkles? I actually look older with these wrinkles than before.

Answer: Botox for Crows feet Botox is an excellent treatment for crow's feet, as these are dynamic muscle lines. Fillers work great for static lines, and can occasionally be used to tone down the lines that I think you are describing. I would not place botox in those lines that you are describing, as it would likely affect your smile.

Answer: Vertical cheek lines after Botox I have a feeling that those lines were actually there prior to Botox. Periocular lines are caused by two main functions. The first is squinting, and the second is smiling. When a person smiles, they are cheeks elevate. This causes lines under the eye. When the orbicularis muscle is relaxed due to neuromodulator injections, The lines just changed direction. My preferred treatment for periocular lines is neuromodulators (Botox, etc.) and laser skin resurfacing Photographs would have been helpful.Dr David Mueller
