What can I do about the strong inner corner pull underneath my eyes? (Photo)

Question

I’m 35, and have quite a strong inner corner pull underneath my eyes. To me, it seems like it’s a muscle problem as you can quite literally see the muscle contracting and releasing in different lighting conditions. I compare my eyes to everyone else my age and no one has lines this bad like I do. What can I do about it?

If this appearance of muscular pulling under the medial portion of your eyes is bothering you, I don't see any harm in trying a few units of Botox. Please consider meeting with a reputable facial plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

From the photo you may want to address the skin versus using Botox in this area as it may result in an undesirable look.  Consider treatments such as Morpheus8 which addresses overall skin tone and texture.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Hi! Micro injection of Botox into this area can improve the appearance of wrinkling under the eye, also known as a "jelly roll" treatment. Keeping this area moisturized will also help improve the appearance.

Botox will complete eliminate the contraction of this muscle. However, that may or may not be cosmetically desirable. Concern about this service goes double for any other possible service to address this. Any potential service is likely to cause harm rather than being helpful.
