I am so happy I was introduced to your channel! I am 53 and wear contact lenses and have developed dry eyes over time, and this is such a helpful channel. Thank you
Precisely why I am here. What are you doing to alleviate the dry eyes?
Thank you so much for you kind comments and planing on an entire dry eye playlist and a video on contacts and dry eyes soon! @Elaine
Hi Dr. Wong! I love your vids. Would you consider teaching us about filler around the eyes, for those of us with hollowed and dark under eyes?
I did one on the complications of fillers around the eyes here: ruclips.net/video/UYibDSya8fY/видео.html
I love how you explain everything in such a clear way, and also without losing your feminine energy.
Awww, thank you so much! I really appreciate it. :)
Dr. Wong you are absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much!
Your skin is beautiful Dr. Rupa ! Thanks for the info !
Thank you Priscilla!
I have divergence excess and recently started tapping my face at night for anti aging purposes but i seen a strange benefit to it. My eyes are working so well together so that made me look into botox. Im glad to find this info
I'm glad to help!! Thanks for watching.
You’re so cute, because I make the same face’s when I’m getting ready to do or feel l need to redo my toxins. Thank you for your expertise. Gloria ❤
Thank you so much for being here, Gloria! :-)
You are so pretty and I thank you. I have decided NOT to get botox. I was already afraid at the beginning now I just won´t😵
I'm so glad I came across this video of yours. I've been having issues with my under eye, I get dark circles and wrinkles. Would you recommend Botox for this? I trust that you are knowledgeable in this field. Thank you in advance.
Are there any Botox restrictions for someone who had radiation treatment to the head and neck? It seems like a facelift is out and dental work is very involved. Supposedly, radiation patients are unpredictable as far as healing. I understand that for invasive procedures but Botox sounds like a much safer option. The radiation treatment aged me horribly and the skin looks like a bad tan... It's not the end of the world, I'm blessed to be alive. This is my 3rd go-round with head and neck cancer. Thanks be to GOD I have a wonderful family and that's the important priority... I loved the video. It was educational as far as the anatomy and the disorders such as strabismus. It's very informative.
Botox certainly doesn't carry the risks of fillers (which can be much more vasocclusive and I would worry about decreased blood supply). I would ask your oncologist for the go ahead first. I'm so glad you're doing well after your cancerl, but I definitely understand your concerns. And, you don't need to qualify them - you deserve to feel beautiful and whatever you need to achieve that is alright.
Could you make a video to show us where exactly you inject the wrinkles around those areas? Please! Loved your video. Thank you for teaching us
Starts 4:30
I agree with injecting with not injecting Botox for crows feet. I don’t like the way it looks and I don’t like that there’s no expression in the eyes. I know someone who does that and the shape of her eye has changed drastically over a period of time and her eyes look shorter horizontally and that looks abnormal to me!
Completely agree!
Excellent examples! Thanks so much
Such a good overview of the cosmetic use of neuromodulators to the face
very informative
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
I've always had one lazy eyelid and eye lash extensions were helpful in hiding that. Now that I don't wear them, I don't know what to do for my eyes lids to look normal.
Omg me too! Thinking about getting an eyelid lift so weird idk why it happened maybe genetic idk
I have a lazy eyelid too. Lashes help so much! I even ask my lash artist to make one side longer. I want Botox for my frown lines but I’m concerned about my lazy eye muscle and I’d it’ll get effected. Cause it can be the brow muscle area too I was told
I’m wish you would show the markings you do in the 5 points? Please❤
What about the risk of dermal filler causing blindness
Yes they absolutely can. The risk is actually a little greater when the fillers are placed in between the brows. That's a great topic for a future video - writing it down right now.
@@DrRupaWong I would love to watch that video!
Great video and very helpful thanks 😊
Hi Dr. Wong,
Can facial exercises help speed up botox degradation under the eyes? I had botox injected in my lower eyelid wrinkles and now the skin is bunching when I smile (making the wrinkles stand out even more) and my lower lids are drooping and hollow.
Dr. Wong, great discussion. Thank you
Very informative! Just recently got Botox around the eye for the first time. That eye popping out sounds terrible.
hi - how was your experience with the Botox ?!?! Any updates
@@myrasran4399 I’ve been back for more! I love it. Will def keep it
Omg I want to try
What might be the reasoning one would experience dry eye just hours after injection and up to around a week after with it then going away for the remaining 3-4 months?
So so knowledgeable. Thank you for the great class haha.
Hi, I have a question I am really hoping you can answer for me 🙏🏼 If someone injects Dysport under their eye and while it is being injected their eyeball fills with fluid what does that mean? Is that dangerous?
Can you talk about under eye puffiness after getting botox?
Did you develop bags under your eyes?
I need to know to I'm 33
@@lolamaria01 yes
I’m 27, but noticing some lines under my eyes (I do moisturize often), should I consider Botox?
You’re stunning!
Absolutely, the aging process starts at 25, botox is a preventative measure rather than a treatment. Once you have static lines (lines present when your face is at rest) botox won't get rid of them xxx
Yes light Botox here and there help with aging gracefully. You don’t want to wait till 45 and go crazy with Botox and fillers and look crazy
Thank you for such detailed information. How can we vet a clinic that provides botox treatments properly? What are questions that I can ask to spot any red flags?
Doesn’t look like she’s going to answer your question.
I think the best injectors are the dermatologists and injectors who work for a plastic surgeon, they actually normally inject better than the surgeon does because they do it all day and they know the latest techniques. Everything is over seen by the plastic surgeon.
I would stay away from these “med spas “ as normally these mall stores hire injectors that don’t have a lot of training. I went for years to get Botox/ Dysport and was told that they could not even do crows feet. Obviously you can, but because I believed them I never even researched it. Now that I do my own toxin I know what can be done and what cannot be done. I don’t know why these injectors don’t find out everything that they can possibly can to become a subject matter expert, that’s their job right?
@@sunkissedbeach Thanks for the detailed reply! Happy New Year too
Definitely don't go based on price! Honestly, I would go based on word of mouth referrals and not ads or groupons or any of that. If you have friends who have botox and you like the way they look, go to that person. Find out who does the injecting, what their level of experience is, how many injections have they done. Sometimes the main derm/plastic surgeon/ophtho whose name is on the clinic is not the one doing the injecting. Make sure you know who is injecting your face and their experience level!
Do you happen to ever make any trips out to California? I’d LOVE to be seen by you. I’ve not heard of an ophthalmologist injecting Botox! Is this at all common amongst doctors in the mainland, do you know?
If I ever do I will let you know! And as for the botox, you can definitely ask your doctor.
is there any solution for someone that just want to "push up" the end corner of the eyes because they're a bit downturned and I don't like the always sad expression? Because I thought botox was the solution to that. I have no problem of wrinkles or whatever for now (I'm 26)
What if I have Sjogrens? Someone told me I couldn’t do it because of dry eyes. Is this correct?
Hey Rose, Botox is still done on people with Sjogren's. Of course, it depends. Definitely go see your doctor in person for their recommendation! So overall, no, they are not correct.
Is the “double vision” a permanent complication ?
It’s temporary
I truly appreciate all of the information you provided. Question, is there any type of patient that you absolutely would not recommend botox for? Does skin color make any difference? I think you are beautiful & intelligent. Mahalo. Cheers 😉 🌷
Dr. Wong, I had Strabismus surgery when I was a child, and now wear glasses. I would like to get botox for crow's feet and I was wondering could this cause my strabismus to come back?
I'm actually going to be addressing a similar question on this week's Friday Q&A. But in general, in the hands of an experienced injector, it should not. But strabismus is a potential complication of Botox (the Botox infiltrates into the lateral recuts muscle typically, causing eye crossing)
Can Botox effect a lazy eyelid from birth? Because of the weak or too much muscle
Hello doctor. Was wondering what to do if in fact the botox has caused the blurred vision or feeling like the eyesight is uneven. Thank you for your time
I'm going to answer that in next week's Friday Q&A, b/c this is important to review! Tune in!
Thanks you for your advice, I just had it done with dysport. Botox doesn’t work for me. Will see tomorrow.
Hi Dr Wong, I had my botox for the first time at age of 40 and my smile looked so weird on the eye part. Will it look ok if I just have botox injected on forehead and between eyebrows but not on crow’s feet area? Thank you for the effort you put into your videos ❤️
You can absolutely just have your glabella and forehead injected without the crow's feet area. Good luck!
Do I have a higher chance of complications if I go to a nurse practitioner instead of a certified plastic surgeon?
Are red led face mask safe for our eyes?
I've never heard of these before, but writing it down right now!
If a complications occured, how long would it last? Temporary or permanent?
Usually just 3-6 months until the Botox wears off and the neurotransmitter regenerates. But, typically i've seen eyelid dropp improve after about 6 weeks.
@@DrRupaWong thank you ☺️
how can we prevent eye jelly roll ( or at least as much as we can) if we dont want botox
My mother is 75. She receives 5 weekly eye injections for macular degeneration.
Would Botox for her crows feet and slight under eye sagging affect her treatment in any way?
Is it normal to bruise under your eyes after botox?
Totally can happen. I bruise all the time (I'm a bleeder in general likely b/c of all of the caffeine I consume!)
Hi! I know this video is a year old but hoping for some advice please? I had botox in forehead, 11’s and crowsfeet areas 13 days ago. 5 days ago I suddenly developed double vision. The Ophthalmologist I have seen has diagnosed 4th Nerve Palsy that she thinks may be due to the botox. Hopefully this will wear off in time, but perhaps stupidly I’m not sure I’m prepared to give up botox in the future all together as it makes me feel so much better about myself (usually!). Can you tell me please which area is the most likely cause of effecting the fourth cranial nerve, I’m unsure of it’s location around these areas… I can live with crows feet, but my frownlines are usually terrible.. I’d just like to know which areas to avoid to prevent this happening again? I should add that I’ve had botox many many times over the years (including previously with this doctor) with no complications. Thank you!
Dr Wong, I have orbicularis Oculi hypertrophy, I want to use botox to fix it but I am scared.
Hey Marcia! Always consult with your local doctor and if they recommend it, don't be scared. Best wishes!
Hi doctor, what are your thoughts if someone tries Botox once? It is safe to no longer continue after your first dose wears off? Can your fine lines worsen if you do it once and not again?
Your wrinkles should not worsen if you discontinue using Botox after your first time.
Awesome. Thanks
Of course! Glad to share. If you have anything else you would like me to talk about feel free to leave your suggestion anytime. Thanks for being here!
I was hoping to see you actually inject yourself and knowing the dosage too! So few videos are talking about injecting the "jelly roll" under the eyes on youtube. I had them injected a couple times to correct the lines under my lower lids, BUT the shape of one of my eyes was changed, it looked smaller and less open. Looking forward to an actual video of you injecting botox! ps I absolutely love, love.... love your personality, how can a girl go through all those years of studies and still be so bubbly!
i actually filmed myself marking up my face and doing an injection and i can't find the footage!!!
Dr. Rupa Wong oh no! Please please please film yourself again! My under eye baby wrinkles need your guidance ~!
Did that wear off? Did your eye go back to normal size after awhile?
I had the jelly roll done and going back for a touch up. It seemed to make my eyes look worse and puffier. I’m a male if that makes a difference. I had 6 shots for crows feet and 6 for the jelly roll per eye.
@@Learn2SingInEnglish definitely 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for the video. My dr likes to give me antibiotic cream after, is this normal? I feel like it's unnecessary, my previous dr never did this.
Dr Wong wow the “eye drupe” is kinda scary but I seem to be having the opposite problem where seems I have an unnatural or extreme brow lift. This time it was done more towards the middle of my brow not outer corners ?? Is there a fix? I still have two week follow call next week or do you think that it will settle?
So I normally get botox in th forehead, 11s, and crows feet, and this time around i want to do under the eye. What dose/unit would you recommend doing in this place ?
Also for laugh lines as Ive only gotten crows feet rather than the crows feet and laugh lines before. You seem super nice and know your stuff!
Did you get Botox around your eye?
Hello doctor, how long will i have double vision ? I’m so in panic 😢
Do you recommend Botox over Dysport for around the eyes because of how they spread?
How many days after the injection this complications could happen?
Love your channel.
I feel like i got eye floaters after i got botox around my eyes, has anyone else has similar symptoms
Hello can Botox cause thyroid eyes disease in people who have Graves’ disease (hyperthyroidism)? Thanks
Once you use botox do you have to keep on? I want eye wrinkles done. If so how often do I need to go?
Miami MD Eraser cream is good for wrinkles?
I went to a well-known Dermatologist in NYC and had juverderm to upper cheek, Fraxel Restore and then Dysport to my crows feet in the order on the same day. Two weeks later, I saw bags under my eyes and have read that Dysport/ Botox can cause malar bags under the eyes. it has been about three months. I am not sure whether the cause of the bags is from filler or dysport. I have had filler before without any problem. What do you think?
I had tear trough filler and botox 4 years ago and been left with green bags and indentations under my eyes. I've been back to the clinic and they refuse to beleive it is their work as they state the filler only lasts upto 18 months (which is rubbish). I won't touch the stuff anymore and spent thousands now on trying to get my face back to how it was before they botched it. I hope you have better luck than me and your face is back to normal 🤞
Hi Dr, I got botox and baby botox down around my eye area and I’m super unhappy. You mentioned something about eye drops for a droopy eye. Which ones are those. Would appreciate your answer. Thanks
Hey Saima, "UPNEEQ" is FDA approved for droopy eyes. However, I would consult with your local doctor before choosing an eye drop treatment. Thank you for your question!
Over 50 have a little bit of hooded eyelids can Botox cause that hooded eyelid to get worse. I had Botox 2 weeks ago and I swear its worse?
Yes it can if the Botox went places it shouldn’t be. You can have the worlds most skilled neurologist to inject you, but you can be slightly different anatomically than most or Botox can penetrate to a deeper muscular layer or nearby muscle causing unwanted effects.
I receive Botox every third month, 300 units which is a LOT, and I got a droopy eyelid twice. One time I used my Tripollar too lift it, and it was very successful. The other time I used Nuface to dissolve the Botox. Whatever people say or not, I have had Botox four times a year for decades, and I swear that NuFace dissolves the Botox in no time.
Good luck!
Should we assume all of these points are the same with Dysport etc
doctor is the botox safe only between eyebrows ? i am afraid because i already have nerve damage from hyalouronic in my nose
Thank you for your video, very informative.
I have had dysport to my crows feet and a little under my eye also. However I noticed one of my eyes squints smaller than the other when I smile, creating asymmetry. It also has a slight ‘bunny line’ on my nose…. I’m not liking the results, it’s been nearly a month, I hope this wears off sooner than the 3 month, hoping it will soften soon. What has caused this in your opinion? I’m very reluctant to do this again. The creases under my eyes do look better but I don’t like how my right eye looks. Thank you for your help.
I think it’s just safe to do less units to be safe and then get them in for a 2 week review and top up as I rather do less dosage then over doing it
So if you get one of these drooping, double vision or eyelid side effects -- did you say there is a way to undo it or treat it?
Please start watching at 03:57 to see my explanation for this. Thank you for watching! :)
hello, I had botox injected in my forehead and around my eyes and since then I have had problems with double vision, dry eyes and a squint eye. It's been several months and it's not really getting better. also I have a weird sensation in my eye that squints, it worries me a lot, I went to see an ophthalmologist, he saw nothing abnormal but I don't feel like before the injections. what to do ? Thank you
Can you get botox under the eyes to eliminate the creases that appear when smiling?
Yes! One of my favorite places to inject and be injected. Only takes a very small amount - a maximum of 4 units of Botox (more if you're using Dysport)
@@DrRupaWong Terrific! I will talk to my dermatologist about it. Also, great channel! :)
Hi Dr. I had bells palsy 4 years ago and till this day my face when i smile is still affected. Do you recommend botox for this or should i just give up looking and accept it all together?
Idk if you’ll answer this question, but i always generally wondered if botox has any negative effects with longterm use. Like making you age faster within the specific area, or damaging or irritating the injected area….idk.
No studies have shown accelerated aging due to Botox, but some have shown muscle atrophy (which is kind of what most cosmetic patients want!)
@@DrRupaWong good to know, thank you!
someone I know had botox under the eyes, and it left darks marks under the eyes, which looked like she had gone 12 rounds with Ali. what causes this?
Do you inject around the very end of the eyebrow to lift cheekbone sheeting?
Hi,
Watched the vid, thanks for the recommendation but I was more looking for the use of Botox for strabismus rather than going the surgery route. Would like info on the pros & cons especially with Botox wearing off after a few months is it worth going the Botox route vs muscle surgery? I don’t want my 14 month old having to go through getting injections every year if needed. I know the surgery is not 100% successful but is it a better way to go other than having more of a downtime after surgery. My 14 month old will have to go under anesthesia either way. Thanks in advance.
Do people with BFS get Botox around the eyes/eyebrows from you and do they help with eye/eyebrow twitching? Lower lid, upper lid, area between upper lid and eyebrow and the actual eyebrow area twitching. If so, where you located I’m coming to see you 😎
Hi
I gotswelling under the left eye after botox at the end of the eyebrow, should I use warm pads?
Thanks
I had ptosis surgery on one eye but I still have ptosis. I would like to get Botox for wrinkles on my forehead but I was wondering if this can also help my ptosis?
Wait, you said ophthalmology is basically eye surgery??? I thought an ophthalmologist was a medical Doctor who specializes in diseases of the eye. I know ophthalmologists are the ones that do I surgery on the eye itself but it’s not that it just means surgery, correct?
Ive heard botox causes muscle atrophy when u stop using it. Can u confirm?
Doctor is it possible to reduce the size of lower orbicularis oculi ? To reduce shadowing?
Hi Doc where are you located?
Where is your clinic?
I need this
Thank you for watching, Danery.
What dose do you use for the 5 point injection?
I do 4 units Botox for the 5 point injection if needed (that's the FDA approved dosing), but depending upon the muscle activity, I find most women don't need a full 20 units there, but men will require more.
can u show how botox is given for blepharospasm
n how much units should be given
I have a couple patients coming in, I'll see if they will give consent
Are there gentle enough eye creams that are safe for all around the eye? Can they contain hyaluronic acid? Thank you
I need to know what eye cream works for around the eye darkness
Hi can I ask about getting Botox for dropping/ hooded upper eyelids for a 49 year old woman? Is it beneficial? Or ant other treatments like nira laser or tria laser? Many thanks
Sometimes 2 units of botox right at the tail of the brow gives a nice little lift (as well as some in the glabella region - the 11's)

Can botox cause depression anxiety?
Really éducatif !

Love your video, I have a question about dilluting Botox and using it under the eyes. I just had it injected that way a couple of days ago and now my left eye has
A bag under it. Is that because the
Botox was diluted with water?
Do u still have this?
No it resolved itself
What about hyaluronic acid?
It dissolves over time usually 6 months due to it’s higher molecular weight
