Can Botox and dermal filler be injected into the crow’s feet/temples?

Hi, Botox can certainly be combined safely with these procedures at the same session. I would suggest fillers followed by Botox. Please consult a medical practitioner for a face to face assessment. Kind regards, Dr Ana. Kat & Co Aesthetics

Thank you for your question. Botox and fillers are commonly used in combination to produce more dramatic refreshment to various areas of the face. Botox is a neuromodulator that works by relaxing the muscles that lead to the formation of some types of wrinkles - such as your crow’s feet. Dermal fillers offer additional support to the dermal structure that can restore volume and smooth away wrinkles caused by collagen loss. You can use this combination in the temples and crow’s feet, as long as you work with a board-certified dermatologist who is also an expert injector. In some patients, the eyes tend to be puffy especially in the morning and doing both the Botox and filler the same day in this subset of patients can cause too much swelling. The first time, I usually do them separately. If all goes fine without swelling, I often subsequently perform both the same day. A qualified provider should be able to produce very good results for you.

The hollowness of temples which is common in slim athletic individuals can be often viewed as a representation of a sickly and aged person. Subtle improvement by filling with a hyaluronic acid such as Voluma, creates an immediate impression of health and success.  Treating the crows feet wrinkles radiating out form the corners of the eyes is an easy treatment and smoothens these wrinkles and aids the rejuvenation of the temple/periorbital areas.The information provided in Dr. Shelton's answer is for educational purposes only and is not intended to constitute medical advice.  The information provided should not be relied upon as a substitute for consultations with a qualified health professional who may be familiar with your individual medical needs. 

Fillers and botox perform completely different roles and actions.  Fillers are great to improve upon areas of volume deficiency and to ease transitions from lets say your check to your upper lip (smile lines) or from your lower eyelid to your cheek (tear trough), or to just add volume to your temples, lips or cheeks.
Botox, paralyzes the muscle under the skin, therefore preventing the wrinkles from accentuating and getting worse over time.
I tell my patients that filler will instantly improve areas of volume loss or deep wrinkles but they should also get botox to prevent the root cause of those wrinkles.
They can be done at the same time and in the same location safely and effectively.
Hope that helps!

Anti-wrinkle injections can be used in conjunction with dermal fillers to treat the temples or achieve a greater level of facial rejuvenation. .  You can proceed with both treatments on the same day and the combination treatment will not affect the longevity of the products. 

Botox can be used to improve wrinkles around the eye. Deeper wrinkles need a combination approach with Botox and lasers, microneedling/prp and fillers. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  It is certainly possible to have Botox and dermal fillers placed into your crows feet and temples at a single setting without issue.  Depending on the placement, the botox may cause your filler to last longer as the area will not experience as much muscle movement/activation.  Hope this helps.

Absolutely!
Fillers can be great in restoring volume and a more youthful, rounded contour to the temples. Tear trough correction and cheek volumization can be done as well with fillers, producing a natural more attractive appearance to the face.
Botox in the crow's feet would be the icing on the cake!
My advice to you is to consult with someone experienced in both surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation techniques (e.g., a board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon) so that you receive an expert and unbiased opinion.
Hope this helps!

Combinations of Botox and filler are common as they are able to target wrinkles in different ways.  They are often used together to maximize the benefits of each procedure.  Botox relaxes the underlying muscles responsible for the formation wrinkles in the long term, while fillers add volume to targeted areas.  However, the combination of fillers and Botox is dependent on each patient’s unique needs and goals.  Ultimately, there is no substitute for an in-person consultation with your provider to talk through your treatment goals and the best ways to achieve them.  

Crow's feet, which are a form of dynamic wrinkles, are most commonly treated with Botox. If however the wrinkles are old and deep/etched in, then adding some filler as well is often a good idea. For the temples, fillers are a nice option if they are becoming concave (typical with age). Treatments can be combined safely by an expert injector (e.g. dermatologist).
