After treated with botox (crow feet & frown) I began to get (more) wrinkles under my eyes. What went wrong? It's been 6 weeks now (see before & after photo) and it's still terrible.
Answer: Wrinkles after Botox It looks as though you may have had some Botox injected in the portion of the periorbital muscle that is under the eye as well as the crow's feet. Especially in individuals who have had lower lid blepharoplasty or who have swelling around the eyes with water retention, the lymphatics may not drain the water that normally accumulates around the eye becuase of the weaker contractions of the periorbital muscle. After the swelling goes down, one us left with the kind if wrinkles you seem to have.If you don't wish to wait for this to resolve, you can hasten it with a potent green tea cream (Replenix) combined with a few Pellevé treatments. It will improve dramatically.By the way, this does not have to happen unpredictably. Performing a 'snap test' before Botox treatment can predict to a large extent who is likely to have this side effect.

If you have preexisting skin laxity or water retention to the under eye, Botox injections should be avoided. When skin laxity is apparent Botox can add to the appearance of water retention and wrinkles. Botox typically lasts 3 months. It will wear off. Best of Luck.

Answer: Botox to eyelids If the eyelids are not properly evaluated before treatment with botox, the botox can cause a sagging of the lower eyelid musle/skin. If the injections are place under the eyelid and there is already some laxity of the muscle, the muscle will droop more and look like the lines that you see. There is nothing much to do except wait for the botox to wear off.

Answer: Wrinkles after botox Botox is a muscle relaxer and will relax the muscles into which it was injected. Sometimes other muscle wrinkles become more evident and can be injected. Other times the muscle is not injected completely evenly or the botox doesn't take evenly. A touch up treatment can usually solve this issue so see your injecting doctors and most will do a small touch up at no additional charge. If that is not satisfactory, see an injection specialist who has experience injecting around the eyes. Often combining a little filler with botox or using a device to improve the fine lines such as Thermismooth can be helpful to get the best results from Botox. There are various treatments to help with the issue of wrinkles around the eyes in addition to, or instead of Botox so a specialist should be able to explain these options to you and come up with a good treatment plan.best of luck!
