Question 1

why do i have swelling after a botox injection under the eye?

Accepted Answer

Botox & Swelling: It is rare to have significant swelling after a Botox inj, but there are a few things to consider. 1) many people have localized swelling after any injection-cool compresses & time may help; 2) rarely in patients w/ very sensitive skin i rec pre-treatment with an antihistamine; 3) allergic reactions are exceedingly rare with Botox but not impossible; 4) the lid area can be quite sensitive in some.

Question 2

there is green swelling underneath my eyes from a botched botox treatment. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

A bruise: Bruising can happen any time a needle is used. Small bruises can look a little green as they resolve, but they generally go away without any treatment, assuming the needle caused the bruise. (fillers such as juvederm/restylane can cause color changes without bruising). The bruise is not likely to affect the final outcome. Just give it a little time.

Question 3

can i get botox under eyes to reduce eye bags/overactive muscles?

Accepted Answer

Botox: Reduces fine wrinkles around your eyes and will relax "overactive muscles" but it doesn't do anything about the bags around your eyes.  There are surgical and laser procedures that can help this issue.  Discuss this with your ophthalmologist.

Question 4

i have sle and have suffered from eye tics since childhood. i had botox to treat them but now have puffy bags under eyes. is this from botox or lupus?

Accepted Answer

Either one or both: Lupus is an inflammatory condition, while botox is used to reverse wrinkles, but both have similar effects in causing swelling beneath the skin of the eyelids...

Question 5

having swelling under the eye. getting flashes and itching in the eye?

Accepted Answer

Eye swelling: I am concerned about blepharitis or conjunctivitis. Usually we prescribe antibiotics for this. Please consult a doctor.

Question 6

when i was exercising my face was knocked by my knee. it was under the eye and there was a swelling.after a day under  that place  was black.

Accepted Answer

Black eye: The force caused soft tissue swelling ANS a broken blood vessel in your eye lid. This will resolve with time,  may use warm compresses to help.

Question 7

can botox or juviderm injections under and above eyes make your eye twitch and spasem?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no? Maybe mo: Any muscle which loses its innervation (which occurs with botox) may suddenly begin to twitch or fasciculate. Generally this subsides over a few days. However any imbalance in muscle action can also cause this and Botox is indicated for the medical treatment of blepharospasm (eye twitching). Therefore more botolinummay be the answer. Juvederm is not likely to cause eye twitching.

Question 8

botox type injections into static frown lines caused major droopy eye lids. i suppose that ultherapy or peleve would do the same for my whole face?

Accepted Answer

Options to treat: Lid ptosis from Botox A occurs when the botox crosses the tarsal plate in the upper lid and inhibits the lid lifting muscles or because you are using your forehead muscles to lift the lids and Botox reduces the lift. Ulthera and Peleve can be used to lift lids. Topical treatments are available. I would revisit whoever did the Botox for treatment of the lid ptosis. Or get a second opinion.

Question 9

i get occasional eye twists which i cannot control and have begun to spread to one side of my face including mouth. i am affraid about this. is it serious or maybe just a minor side effect of recent injections of botox i had? this started 7 days ago?

Accepted Answer

: Blepharospasm is a common side effect of botox injection. Post drug marketing side effects of Botox also include localized muscle twitching/involuntary muscle contractions. So if you symptoms occurred right after receiving botox injection in those areas, side effects are likely. Please contact the doctor who treated you for further instruction.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Exam: Get checked for eye allergies and infection. You can reduce swelling with cool compresses and sometimes tea bags and cucumber will help reduce swelling.Over the counter antihistamine mediciation will also help.
