Puckering Under My Eyebrows After Botox Around My Eyes?

Question

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

In general, the side effects of a Botox treatment can include the following:

	1) Light bruising
	2) Swelling
	3) Temporary ptosis

	Where exactly did your physician inject the Botox? If the injections were performed close to that area, it is possible that the Botox is affecting specific muscles and causing the issue you are experiencing. It is difficult to give you precise advice without performing an exam. Any side effects related to your treatment will be gone once the effects of the Botox have worn off. I would recommend speaking with your provider, as they know the extent of your treatment and exactly where the injections were placed. I hope this helps, and good luck!

It is very difficult to answer this question without first viewing photo's of what you are referring to. You should consider posting photo's for better review.

Hi Anon.  Did you have the injections aroudn the crow's feet (sides of the eyes).  If so, it's possible that product migration has moved the Botox to the muscle under the eye.  Muscle laxity here can cause a loose or baggy appearance where there wasn't before.  Review your results with your injector.

Suzan Obagi, MD · Answer

What you are seeing can be a natural result of movement remaining in a muscle (such as that below your brow) that was not treated with Botox while the area around it is now smooth from the treatment.  This can be remedied if your doctor is comfortable injecting a small dose in that area to smooth it out. For future treatments, I would be sure to remind your doctor of this so that this  area is always treated in the future.

Once Botox is used, it can impact the way the muscles not treated will react.  This may lead to puckering that was not seen before.
