What should I check before a Botox consultation for fine lines around the eyes that appear when smiling?
2026.11.10 12:35
Hello. I am considering a Botox consultation because of fine lines around my eyes. I am wondering if the consultation criteria differ depending on the specific area, such as the wrinkles that appear next to the outer corners and under the eyes, as shown in the photo. Since the area around the eyes is used for facial expressions, I think being able to smile naturally is the most important factor, rather than just reducing the wrinkles.
I have heard that the approach to facial expression lines differs from those that remain even when at rest. I would like to know how the two are distinguished in the clinic. Rather than judging based solely on photos, I would like a consultation where I can directly examine my facial expressions and skin condition.
1) How do the application of Botox and precautions differ for the outer corners of the eyes and fine lines under the eyes?
2) What should I check during the consultation regarding dosage and treatment location to maintain a natural facial expression?
3) I am wondering if there is a possibility of my eyes becoming dry or my smiling expression changing after eye Botox. Are there any eye-related symptoms or medications I need to mention before the consultation?
4) I would like to know when the effects appear, the typical duration of the results, and the criteria for deciding on the next procedure.
I would also like guidance on precautions to take regarding daily activities, washing my face, and applying makeup if bruising or swelling occurs after the procedure. Rather than deciding on the procedure blindly, I want to first confirm if the care is suitable for my eye area. I would appreciate it if those who have received a consultation could let me know which questions were helpful.
