Delayed Swelling with Undereye Filler
May 29, 2022
Delayed swelling or edema even months after the placement of undereye filler is not uncommon. The undereyes and tear troughs are very sensitive areas. Even when the filler is done well, complications are fairly common. Many physicians and surgeons more commonly recommend surgery or laser resurfacing as safer and more effective alternative treatment for these areas. However, in the right patient, undereye filler can be appropriate.

Resistance to Botox – if I was to try Xeomin now would it work?
Xeomin often effective after developing resistance to Botox
Feb 28, 2022
I have a good deal of experience with patient’s who developed Botox resistance in my training and practice. It seems to be more common in my patients who I inject with neurotoxins (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) for medical reasons like uncontrollable spasms but also occurs in cosmetic patients occasionally. My experience is that Xeomin is likely to be effective after developing Botox resistance but you have to try it to be sure. I hope this helps.
Is lump by eye filler 6 months after Juvederm?
Eyelid Bump or Migrated Filler
Feb 25, 2022
It is possible that the cheek filler migrated and became a bump on your eyelid. However, this would be less likely this long after the injection since the filler should have integrated with your natural cheek tissues by this time. At this point, it is more likely to be an unrelated issue. I agree that you should see your injector for an evaluation, but he or she will likely refer you to an oculoplastic surgeon or eyelid specialist for an evaluation if it’s truly a bump in the lid.
Cheek dropped after Botox to crows feet – is this a permanent side effect?
Like Botox, It’s Side Effects Are Temporary
Jan 8, 2022
The good and bad thing about Botox is that it lasts approximately 3 months. Fortunately, this means that its side effects, like decreased muscle function in unintended areas, also resolve in approximately 3 months. The medicine likely just migrated from the injection site into one of the cheek muscles that affects your smile, however your smile will go back to normal once the Botox wears off.
Swelling after Botox is also uncommon but could be a mild allergic reaction to the medication or to…
