I'm 39 y/o and just had my first botox treatments in my forehead(15units) and crows feet (5 units each side) I'm very happy except it seems like when I smile it appears that I have more lines and wrinkles under my eyes..What can I do to correct it? Filler? Laser? I'm confused..Thanks!

Answer: Botox for undereye wrinkles Hi,Thank you for your question.Sometimes patients may notice worsening undereye wrinkles after Botox treatment of the crow's feet. When treating the crow's feet, you are selectively paralyzing the lateral portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which is a circular muscle that goes around the entire eye. Subsequently, when you smile and contract this muscle, you may notice more muscle activity at the lower part of the muscle since the outer portion is paralyzed from the Botox. You can try 1-2 units at the under eye to help soften these wrinkles but it is considered an off label treatment. Make sure to see an experienced injector.Hope this helps!

Answer: They are not bothersome unless they leave creases around your eyes. The wrinkles around the eyes, so called crow’s feet, usually occur when we smile. They are not bothersome unless they leave creases around your eyes. Botox would enhance overall appearance of your face and especially the area around your eyes, but it would not alter your face expression.
