LASIK and BOTOX®

After getting LASIK eye surgery, many people find that the lines on their faces, especially around the eyes, stand out more – simply because their glasses aren't covering them up. This is why many people choose to get BOTOX® injections after LASIK surgery. If you find that your crow's feet or smile lines are standing out more without glasses to cover them up, try to find a LASIK surgeon who is skilled in administering BOTOX® injections as well.

Seeing the Lines

When you've gone through the whole LASIK healing process and your eyesight is at its best, you may find that you have small wrinkles and lines on your face that you didn't even know existed. Before, when you were wearing glasses, these lines were covered up, and when you removed your glasses, you couldn't see them. LASIK and BOTOX® go hand-in-hand for most people who want the full make-over after getting rid of their corrective lenses.

Benefits of BOTOX®

As well as decreasing wrinkle lines around the eyes, BOTOX® can be used to decrease unwanted aging effects all over the face and neck. Along with other uses, BOTOX® can be used to treat:

  • Lip Lines
  • Smile lines and wrinkles around the eyes
  • Forehead creases
  • Vertical neck lines
  • Frown lines

With the help of an experienced surgeon, BOTOX® can take less than ten minutes and lasts for up to 4 months. BOTOX® can also be used to give you more lifted eyebrows and is used for a number of different non-cosmetic procedures.

Risks of BOTOX®

BOTOX® injections are virtually pain free and don't require any healing time or time off from work. You can literally come in for a BOTOX® appointment during your lunch break and be back to work within a half hour. There have been no long-term negative side effects observed. There are, however, some potential short-term health risks to BOTOX® including, but not limited to:

  • Eyelid drooping
  • Allergic reaction
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Mild numbness / tingling in the injected area
  • Flu-like symptoms
