I'm looking to do either Juvederm or Restylane injections for my under-eye bags to smooth out the hollows and puffiness.How long should I "hibernate" due to swelling and bruising? Is it a couple days or a week that you look beat up? Also, does Botox work for crow's feet or is it too risky of freezing your smile lines?

Answer: Botox for Crow's feet, Restylane for the tear troughs Borox is wonderful to soften the crow's feet, and if done properly, will leave you a very natural result. I prefer Restylane for the tear troughs, and this area tends to have a higher risk of bruising or swelling compared to other areas of the face, so I recommend a few days off just to be safe (there are some folks who have little or no bruising, but we always want to plan ahead in case you need a bit more time). Good luck! Dr. Salemy

Answer: Botox is great for crow's feet First of all, Botox is great for crow's feet around the eyes. It opens up the lateral eye area and smooths out the wrinkles. Dermal filler injections around the eyes are tricky and should only be done by an experienced injector. Whether you have Juvederm or Restylane does not really matter.
