Botox For Eye Wrinkles And Crows Feet
Botox For Eye Wrinkles & Crows Feet?
The fine lines we see next to our eyes are usually the first sign of aging. We can call them “smile lines” all we want, but they are still crows feet. They come from various sources. Sun exposure, free radical damage, and just plain aging skin. This short video is a Q and A about these lines and the various ways they can be combated. In it I talk about Botox, Dysport, anti-oxidants, and sun screens. Let me know what you think, and if this doesn’t answer your question, just let me know in the comment box, and I will try to help.
From Dr. Bonnie: When first meeting, my patients tell me they want to look younger, and we talk about their concerns. For most its a sense of not looking as “fresh” as they used to. As we continue to talk, I find many are under incredible stress, and it’s aging them beyond their real years. They’re aware of the pressure, and maybe even of the toll it’s taking. Unfortunately, its not easy to figure out how to get off this energy draining treadmill that’s sabotaging their chance to look great. I ‘ve discovered three common problems that almost all of these patients share, and even went so far as to prepare three separate videos, which have become my “prescriptions”. Each deals with a different problem and shows step-by-step how to eliminate them from your life. I would love to share them with you, and there is no charge. The first is titled “The Dirty Little Secret of Multi-Tasking” and as the title may hint, Multi-Tasking is not helping us save time nor get things done faster. You will also begin receiving My Beauty Tip of The Week every Friday. In it I discuss things just like in the article above and can answer your questions, should you want to ask. It’s also free and you can unsubscribe at any time. I look forward to hearing from you. Dr. Bonnie

How many units of Botox are safe, directly under the eye for those wrinkles? Should I use Restylane for upper cheekbone wrinkles??!

For Botox directly under the eye (not just along the lateral border of the orbicularis oculi) I am quite conservative and utilize 1 to 2 units usually directly under and then a bit medial of that. The aliquots are no more than one unit each.
If you are referring to the out ad downward effects of oculi contraction that can spread down the lateral cheek, adding a little softness with Restylane or Radiesse will help, but if the oculi becomes relaxed, those usually fade out too. If I am filling the “bowl” or the tear trough, I tend to use Restylane.
