Oculuplastic Eyelid Specialist recommended Botox for under eye - need second opinion? (photo)

I agree with the doctor you saw. I think Botox is a good option to try and reduce the muscle under your right eye. It should be done in small amounts to avoid complications.

A small amount of Botox under the eye will relax that muscle, lessening the appearance of the bulge that concerns you. This treatment should be performed by an experienced injector. The final results are seen after 14 days and will gradually fade over three to four months.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photo, I note fullness of the right lower eyelid. While the left lower lid demonstrates only minimal-moderate wrinkling when smiling, the right lower lid is fuller. In addition, one can see the internal lid margin of the right lid in the photo, suggesting that it is being pushed upward.A single photograph from a distance, however, does not replace an in-person history and physical examination. If you are not completely comfortable with your first consultation, seek a second opinion from a board certified plastic surgeon or ophthalmologist for evaluation, examination, and discussion.Best wishes...
