Dr Singh who runs his botox clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in his latest blog talks about botox around the eyes.

The most commonest reason my patients request botox for around the eyes are due to the smile lines, also known as crows feet.

Most botox patients fall into one of two groups regarding their smile lines. The first are those that just use their eyes when they smile. In these patients the lines are quite high up the eye and normally don’t go lower down than the mid point of the eye.

The second group are known as cheek smiles and they sue their cheeks when they smile. These botox patients will have lines normally stretching from the mid point of the eyes to the cheek area.

It is vital before you administer the botox injections, you know which type of smiler the patient is. Then you can administer the botox int he correct position.

A lot of patients ask whether having botox around their eyes, will effect them from smiling. My answer is no, if done correctly. You wills till be able to smile after the botox treatment.

The other advantage that having botox around the eyes is that it can make the eyes appear slightly more open and therefore bigger.
