Hello, I came in two weeks ago for my first Botox treatment. My main concern was the eyes specifically crows feet. Overall I'm happy but completely satisfied. Right under my eyes the wrinkles are accentuated. Not sure if its due to shifted/different muscle movement, or just looks this way because they're more in focus. I can tell my cheeks also push up the area, so some wrinkles are just there, however I am wondering if there is something more that can be done? Thank you,
Answer: Worsening undereye wrinkles after Botox for crow's feet Hi,Thank you for sharing your question.It is not uncommon that after crow's feet treatment that you may notice more prominent undereye wrinkles. This occurs because the muscle around the eye is is a circular sphincter muscle so when the lateral (outer) parts are paralyzed with Botox, other parts of the muscle, such as the lower portion, may become more active (compensatory activity). A few units of botox in the undereye area can help to soften the appearance of these wrinkles but is considered an advanced technique with its own set of risk factors. I recommend following up with your injector to discuss your concerns and to evaluate whether you are a good candidate for treatment in that area.Hope this helps!

Answer: More lines under the eyes after Botox treatment I appreciate your question and I'm sorry you did not achieve a fully satisfactory result from your initial Botox treatment. It is possible that some additional Botox will improve more of your lines. However, targeting the muscle that forms the lines directly under the eye is not typically recommended because it can result in drooping of one eye to produce an undesirable effect. In some cases, laser resurfacing is a better choice for this area, as it can stimulate some collagen to smooth away the lines without affecting the muscles. I would schedule a follow-up with your doctor for further assessment and treatment recommendations. Always work with a very experienced, board-certified injector to ensure the best possible results with every treatment.

Answer: Under eye wrinkles.... The likely answer is multiple types of treatments needed like fillers, skin care, chemical peels and microneedling. Lasers possibly too, but these yield a longer recovery. Good luck. Dr. Aldo

Answer: Wrinkles and lines Crowsfeet/eyes Thank you for your question. I believe that since you have had Botox, it could not hurt to return to the injector and request more or express your concerns. My recommendation would be to go through a series of three treatments of Titan eyes. Best
