Forehead botox caused eye wrinkles, will they go away and can they be fixed with botox in eye area? (photo)

Thank you for the question and the photos. While it is likely that you had some wrinkles around the eyes before the forehead treatment, relaxing the forehead muscles can make these look more prominent. The two areas are in a constant "tug of war" around the eyebrow and crow's feet area. When one is weakened by Botox, the other pulls relatively more. A simple fix is to put 10-12 units of Botox in the crow's feet areas on each side. Best of luck!

Thank you for your
question and the photos.Botox doesn't cause wrinkles in other places but it can make them more prominent by altering the balance between muscles in the same region, such as the balance among forehead muscles above the eyebrow and eyelid muscles below the eyebrow.Botox Cosmetic is effective for both forehead wrinkles and laugh lines around the eyes.  Typical dosing is 20-25 units of Botox in the forehead and 10-12 units for the Crow's feet on each side.

To be sure, see
two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and
complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe
for you to have Botox.

I hope this helps.

Botox of the forehead doesn't cause eyelid or periorbital wrinkles.  You likely never noticed they were there before.  Treat both areas at the next visit and I'm sure you will be happy.  I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.

Botox is a great injection but proper placement is key to success.  Your Botox was placed a little "low" which makes the brows "move down" and could have caused the appearance of more wrinkles around the eyes.  When your Botox wears off I would return to your treating physician and discuss your concerns so that this does not happen again and I would suggest having the crow's feet done at the same time.

In your after photo, I can see that your mid brow is relaxed nicely, but the lateral brows are lifted a little too much, giving an unnatural "Mr. Spock" eye, with a wrinkle on top of your lateral brows.  I am unable to see any worsening crow's feet in your picture, so I assume you are referring to the wrinkles above the lateral margin of your eyebrows.  I would suggest that when you are ready for your next Botox treatment you request a small amount be placed above the lateral brows to prevent this side effect. 

Thank you for your question. The forehead muscles contribute to eyebrow position and when you received botox those muscles became relaxed and your eyelid skin was no longer on stretch. I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon in you area and have a discussion about your concerns.

Crow's feet were most likely there but not apparent until the smoothing effect of the forehead Botox kicked in. Yes have 10-10 units to the bilateral crow's feet. Fee from $100 to $240 US$$$ 

I think that Botox, Dysport or Xeomin could help the wrinkles in the eye area. The wrinkles probably show differently in the photos because your expression is different as are the angles of the photos. If you smile or squint you will show the wrinkles around eyes. I do not think that they are related to your prior treatments.

Lateral eye wrinkles can be improved by Botox in most cases. It is unclear why your would get his after forehead treatment. Perhaps you never noticed them before.
