Bulging eyebrow/eyelid muscle when I smile, any suggestions?

Question

Hello! I have an issue where one of my eyelid/brows looks weird when I smile, and it almost gives my eye an angry appearance. It's only one of them, and I think it's getting more noticeable as I age, because I can't remember it being there when I was younger. Is this the sort of thing Botox could fix? I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem.

botox, eye peels like Aerify or enlighten at home (see link) and microroling all help this along with plasma pen (see my tiktok from today). see expert.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules) should be started now.

There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty with or without fat pad repositioning will be the best long term.  There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles without surgery.  Non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels, and microneedling RF like Fractora or morpheus can all help give some improvement. Accutite can often be used or stronger lasers like erbium or co2 spot treatment can tighten the skin and give very quick improvement in wrinkles and texture.  I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals.  Best, Dr. Emer.
