I had Botox exactly a week ago for what I thought were my crows feet. Although what I know is my crows feet region is a little better, I still have lines that run under my eyes only when I smile to diagonally down my upper cheek. There are 3 prominent lines. I was told by one drs office that this is due to loss of volume in my cheek and botox isn't a good area to inject

Answer: Filler for cheeks Agree that botulinum toxin injection is not a good idea for the lines you are referring to in the lateral cheek area (from smiling). Dermal filler injection though may be useful.

Answer: Lines Around the Eyes and Upper Cheek Typically these larger lines are due to hypertrophy of the musculature underneith as well as some volume loss in the cheeks/temples. Botox or neuromodulation is a good start but typically will not help the larger lines around the eyes as these are influenced by large muscles that are deeper. Laser resurfacing and/or radiofrequency or ultrasound devices can help tighten and soften and smoothen the skin. Filler injection into the mid and lateral cheeks can help lift and superficial injection can help soften the individual. Overtime, continued neuromodulation treatment will help the muscles around the eyes atrophy and become less prominent and stop any "movement" lines. Eye creams will not help these larger lines. Please see a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in filler injection, laser surgery, and eyelid rejuvenation. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.
