Can years of under eye Botox create Malar Mounds? (Photo)
RealSelf actual patient comment:
For the last two years I have been getting Botox under my eyes. I was starting to get deep creases under my eyes not cried feet. The last 2 times that I went for Botox it was with a new doctor. She injected 10 units and 6 of them were directly below my lower lid. I now how lower eye bags that are almost unbearable and they are worse in the am. I am only 29. Is this a result of Botox? Will it get better when the Botox wears off or is it permanent since I have been getting Botox for two years?
A.The relatively high dose of Botox for your lower eyelids is preventing your muscles from contracting and squeezing accumulated fluid from your malar area. This should resolve when the Botox wears off, avoid injecting this area in the future and look to other ways to treat what bothers you. Good luck and be well.
