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

Doctor's Answer

Botox under the eyes is not a matter of having too much botox but injecting in the wrong area. The doctor did not assess how much loose skin you had under your eyes before injecting. You may not be a suitable candidate for botox injection under your eyes and it should have been obvious from assessment.

Hopefully, it will not take half a year as botox under the eyes usually wears out faster than the other areas but every individual is different. It also depends on the amount he used.

Yes, dermal fillers may help reduce the looseness and sunkeness around your under eye. However, I would have to assess you to understand more. I have personally seen many botched jobs under the eyes either from using the wrong fillers, too much fillers, or performing botox on people who are not suitable because it is a common mistake some doctors make. Do seek assessment from experienced doctors to discuss the best course of remedy.
