Hi there, I received a small amount of botox in the crows feet area of both of my eyes. Time has passed, and in that time I also started using a: Hyaluronic acid Moisturizer (drunk elephant/polypeptide cream) Because of the timeline, I can't tell if my current issue is linked to one or the other. Basically, within the last week I have INTENSE creases/folds under my eyes that aged me by like 50 years. Aloe vera stings a little when applied. Any ideas of what I should do or what went wrong?
Answer: Under eye wrinkles It's important that your injector knows where to inject for crow's feet. If the treatment isn't done correctly it can result in a "shelf" below the eye. This will resolve as the product is metabolized. Always see an expert injector for treatment.

Answer: Lines under the eyes: Know your treatment options Thank you for your question. It is unlikely the lines you are seeing are linked to Botox or hyaluronic acid. You may be a good candidate for a non-surgical liquid eyelift that utilizes facial fillers such as Restylane or Sculptra. These fillers can reduce the appearance of lines and creases under the eyes by adding subtle volume, and can often be administered alongside ongoing Botox Cosmetic treatments to maximize results. I recommend that you schedule an in-person consultation with an accomplished, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They may be able to better assess your newly formed lines and help you decide on the best treatment plan to alleviate your concerns.

Answer: Blepharoplasty and Non-surgical Eyelid Treatment Options for Hooding of the Eyes. Thank you for your question and pictures! Horizontal eyelid wrinkles and sagginess can be corrected with blepharoplasty or cosmetic eyelid surgery. It is one of the first cosmetic surgeries people usually get. While the average age might be 30 to 50's, some patients get this done in their 20s. It really depends on your unique anatomy as well as what exactly is bothering you. It is unclear if your pictures are before and after, but I do not believe moisturizer caused this issue. It is best that you consult your physician and have the area properly assessed.

Answer: Hard to tell but likely not from botox It is difficult to tell the cause of your problem without really examing your face and watching an animated motion. but it is unlikely from botulinum injection because if anything botulinum toxin freezes muscle and removes wrinkles, and all available brands of botulinum toxins usually only work for 2 to 3 months with each injection.

Answer: Dark Circles/Eye Bags/Wrinkles - Fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella); Lasers (Fraxel/CO2); Renuvion; Microneedling/PRP; Peels 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 (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella), lasers (Moxi/Halo/Fraxel/CO2), Renuvion (J-Plasma), microneedling/PRP, stem cells and microneedling RF like Fractora PiXel8 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. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. I suggest you get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals. Best, Dr. Emer.
