wondering if this muscle is commonly or ever frozen by botox injections? "When someone smiles out of genuine delight, a facial muscle called the orbicularis oculi involuntarily contracts, crinkling the skin around the eyes. Most of us are incapable of deliberately moving this muscle, which means that when a person fakes a smile, her orbicularis oculi likely won't budge."

Answer: Botox used for crows feet lines Yes, the orbicularis oculi muscles are often "frozen" with Botox to treat crows feet lines. That muscles is the one that closes the eyes, so the whole muscle isn't frozen, just the part infer the crows feet. I do believe that the smile of true delight shows much differently than a fake smile. Artfully done Botox shouldn't change that.

Answer: This statement is a classic oversimplification. When we smile we do activate the orbicularis oculi muscle on the top of the cheek. Over treatment with Botox will affect the activity of the orbicularis oculi muscle. In fact over treat with Botox will create a frozen or locked in effect which is aesthetically undesirable. The goal of Botox should be the subtle and favorable adjustment of the balance in facial muscles. This the reason why I introduced Microdroplet Botox. This patented method creates a forehead lift without the paralysis associated with many treatment patterns.
