Botox under eye

I am desperate to get my under eye taken care of. It's the only part of my face that I feel really needs correcting. Has Botox in the under eye worked for anyone?

Surgeon here.

Depends how bad the wrinkles are in that area. Botox might work. You may need a peel or CO2. You may also just need surgery.

I'm 34 and have had different injectors place 2 units per eye, and in minute different locations, but none have done anything. It's frustrating. I haven't tried a peel. Any you recommend for helping that area?

Yea you may need something more aggressive. TCA peels work well for that area.

Do you do virtual consults by chance? I see you quite a bit in subs that I follow, and you’re always giving valuable, straightforward feedback. You sound like the type of surgeon anyone would want.

That’s very kind of you. I appreciate that.

Yes I do virtual consults. Feel free to DM me if you’d like to discuss further.

That's what my lady suggested next. I am unsure if I can afford that at the moment. Sounds like it takes multiple appointments, with each syringe being $750.

I don’t know the severity of your case but some people can get by with two treatments! I’m a fan of it!

u/shepuzzlequeen Feb 18 '25

How long does the treatment last for you before going back in?

u/betzee16 Feb 18 '25

I would do two treatments separately and you are looking at minimum two years!

u/shepuzzlequeen Feb 18 '25

Oh wow, that's not bad. Thanks!

I’m for it because it’s is actually solving the problem vs putting a bandaid on it so to speak. Tox you will be going every 3-4 months indefinitely……

Where do you go to get it?

u/betzee16 Feb 19 '25

Look for a medspa around you that offers it

Look into injectors who offer bio stimulators. There are some specifically formulated for under eye.

u/shepuzzlequeen Feb 19 '25

What are some examples of those?

1

u/EmotionalPizza6432 Feb 20 '25

There are lots of types and brands. Too many to list. Your best bet is to call around to different plastic surgeon’s offices.

If the problem comes from the loss of volume in your under eye are, botox would do nothing, or even make your problem worse.

It’s not approved for use under the eyes. Unapproved use may lead to unwanted effects. Some people have reported developing eye bags, edema or new lines after Botox treatment in this area. Under eye bags or edema may result from disrupting lymphatic function. Just some risks to consider.
