Smoother Under-Eyes. Softer Lines. Preserved Expression.

The lower eyelid is one of the most delicate areas of the face. Fine lines, creasing, and subtle muscle overactivity can contribute to a tired appearance—but treating this area requires precision and restraint.

At Lumier Medical in Torrance, lower eyelid Botox is used selectively to soften fine lines and reduce muscle-related creasing beneath the eyes. This is not a standard Botox area and is only recommended for specific anatomy and concerns.

Dr. Michael Lum takes a highly conservative approach, focusing on subtle improvement while preserving natural blinking, support, and expression.

Our before-and-after photos reflect what this treatment should look like when done properly: refined, not overtreated.

Real Patient Results: Lower Eyelid Botox Before & After

These results demonstrate how precise Botox placement can:

  • Soften fine lines under the eyes
  • Reduce creasing during smiling or expression
  • Create a smoother lower eyelid appearance
  • Maintain natural movement and eye function

Results are intentionally subtle. The goal is improvement—not complete elimination of natural lines.

Botulinum toxin A (BOTOX Cosmetic Treatment) can be used in the lower eyelid to improve wrinkles and widen the eye.

Before Treatment: Common Concerns We Evaluate

Patients may be candidates for lower eyelid Botox if they experience:

  • Fine lines or crepey skin beneath the eyes
  • Wrinkling that worsens with smiling
  • Mild muscle-related creasing (not significant skin laxity or fat)
  • Desire for non-surgical refinement

Not all under-eye concerns are caused by muscle activity. In many cases, volume loss, skin quality, or fat protrusion may require a different approach.

After Treatment: What Natural Results Should Look Like

When lower eyelid Botox is done correctly, results should be:

  • Subtle and smooth—not tight or unnatural
  • Balanced with surrounding areas like crow’s feet
  • Preserved in natural blinking and expression
  • Free from heaviness or lid instability

Results typically appear within several days and last around 3–4 months.

Dr. Lum’s Philosophy on Lower Eyelid Botox

This is an advanced treatment area that requires careful patient selection and technique.

Dr. Lum’s approach emphasizes:

  • Conservative dosing to avoid lower eyelid weakness
  • Treating only appropriate candidates
  • Avoiding over-relaxation that can affect eye support
  • Integrating treatment with the surrounding facial anatomy

If lower eyelid Botox is not appropriate, alternative treatments—such as skin resurfacing or volume correction—may be recommended instead.
