How can I rectify a ruined botox job at my under eye that has caused my skin to become loose?

Doctor's Answer

So sorry to hear about your bad experience with Botox to your lower eyelid.

Depending on the condition of your skin and lower eyelid, there are some possible treatments that could help to reduce the severity. It will be important to have a proper assessment to ascertain the situation & skin laxity.

Filler is useful if there is some volume lost or to create the aegyo sal to give it some expression of smiling (since it is now too paralyzed). But if the muscle and skin in eyelid is too loose, putting in filler might just give you an eyebag instead!

Other possible treatment that I have used for such situations include laser or ulthera to tighten skin, threadlift to the eyelid to give it some support. It is not easy to offer you the correct option without a proper assessment.

Regards,
