Treatment goals
We are looking for partial inhibition of the superior lateral orbicularis oculi. Do not let the patient dictate the dose based on the price. Remember the injector is the expert, the expert sets the dose and the patient decides if the recommended dose works within their budget.
Dosing
Women total dose 4–8 units; 2–4 units per side Botox, Jeuveau and Xeomin. Women total dose 5–10 units; 2.5–5 units per side Dysport. Men total dose 4–8 units; 2–4 units per side Botox, Jeuveau and Xeomin. Men total dose 5–10 units; 2.5–5 units per side Dysport.

Assessment
The patient should be assessed in animation and at rest. They should further be assessed from all angles. Even if only treating the lateral tail of the superior aspect of the lateral orbicularis oculi for an eyebrow lift, it is essential to understand the relationship of the brows and the treatment area. If the patient is having eye surgery in the future, be sure that injections stop 3 months before their scheduled surgery date. The surgeon needs to have full expression of the muscles in order to surgical alter them permanently. This treatment area is rich with vessels, so be sure to mark out the vessels to minimize bruising; ice can help constrict vessels just before injecting.
Additional notation:
Lagophthalmos—incomplete closure of the eye
Excessive scleral show
Ectropion-Eversion of the eyelid margin
Xeropthalmia-decreased lacrimal flow
Pre-procedure steps
1. Consultation
2. Have patient sign consent and pre and post-procedure guidelines
3. Photographs at three angles at rest and animated (i) 50 degrees both left and right
(ii) 45 degrees both left and right
(iii) Straight on
4. Have patient comfortably seated in an upright position
5. Ensure adequate overhead lighting
6. Mark out danger zones

7. Additionally, mark out treatment areas with a marking pencil. Be sure not to inject through the marking pencil as it can tattoo the patient.
8. Calculate dosing according to the desired look, anatomy and area being treated.
9. Draw up medication being sure not to dull your needle by touching the sides of the glass bottle or going through the rubber stopper with your intended injection needle.
10. Cleanse the patients face thoroughly with a double cleanse and then chlorhexidine or alcohol (allow to dry).
Technique
1. Identify the treatment danger zones.
2. Palpate the orbital rim. Identify the superior lateral portion of the orbi-
cularis oculi muscle by having the patient squint or forcefully close the eyelids. An evident depression will be seen in the skin. Your first injec­tion point will be outside of the lateral limbus line and 1 cm outside of the orbital rim.
3. Mark out the injection points.
4. Be sure that the patient is still cleansed and has not touched the treatment
area since proper cleansing performed in the pre-procedural steps.
5. It is best to stand on the same side you are treating. Hold the skin taught
(be sure not to pull or manipulate the skin) so that the skin does not slide away when you insert the needle. The first injection point will be per­formed while the patient is relaxed. The needle will be about 1.5 cm lat­eral to the lateral limbus line. The needle should be angled toward the frontalis muscle away from the globe. Be careful to manage a slow and steady extrusion force not to force migration into the levator palpeb­rae. Your depth will be subdermal and your dose will be 2 units of Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau, or 2.5 units of Dysport.
6. The second injection will be 1 cm medical to the first injection point
closer to the lateral limbus line. Again this injection will be subdermal and only 1 unit of Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau, or 2.5 units of Dysport.
7. Repeat the treatment on the contralateral side.
8. Do NOT press or rub on the injection sites. If the patient happens to
bleed you may apply gentle pressure to stop the bleeding. GENTLE!!! It is not advised that you manipulate the product from the site as adverse events and product migration can occur.

Results
Lateral eyebrow elevation. Patient will notice an opening of the eye as well.
Within 3–10 days patients will start to see gradual improvement of the dynamic wrinkles in treated area. At no time during the 2 weeks should more neuromodulator be injected in the same area. It takes a full 2 weeks for the product to take effect. All good things come to those who wait. At 2 weeks time it is strongly advised that the patient come back in for follow up evaluation. Discuss how the patient feels, how they like their results. Take after photos in the exact positions as the before photos.
Duration
Neuromodulators last anywhere from 2 to 4 months. The average is about three. It is essential to the clients to let them know they will not be completely frozen the entire duration of the treatment. It will take about 2 weeks to become fully effective and then at about 6–8 weeks time, the neurotoxin will start to “break.” Break, meaning a little bit of expression or movement will start to come back and the patient will notice this. Be sure always to keep your photos for your records so that you can compare. At times patients will call at 6 weeks and state that ALL of their neuromodu­lators wore off and they need to be re-seen or re-treated. Pictures will come in handy here as it is likely they are seeing the beginning stages of the rein­nervation with baby sprouts of the nerve terminals. You do not need to wait till all of the patients movement is back. Re-treat at 3 months before full expression is restored; this way, they can train the muscles.
Follow up and special consideration
At the 2 week follow up.
If at your follow-up visit, it would be aesthetically pleasing to have a greater lift than assess the superior lateral orbicularis oculi muscle’s function. Should you notice significant contractility administer more neuromodulator as you did at the previous visit. Total dose for touch up can be up to the same amount as initial visit dose.
If your patient is not appropriately counseled on neuromodulation’s use, they will often come back and say that the treatment did not work because they have lines still. It is crucial that you educate the patient that the treat­ment is only working on the muscles and the motion and that it is not intended to reduce the static lines. Of course there is a caveat; in your youn­ger patients it can reduce the appearance of static lines but this is not some­thing the injector should promise. Always teach the client that the treatment is for the hyperdynamic muscle movement not the static line (Table 11.4).

Details on Dysport allergy
If using Dysport and the patient is allergic, the patient will complain of flu like symptoms or feeling run down like they are experiencing seasonal aller­gies or experiencing a sinus infection. Not all patients know that they have a milk protein allergy, and treatment with Dysport uncovers the allergy. Typ­ically no intervention is needed as it will self-resolve. However, it is appro­priate to suggest over the counter antihistamines or see their primary care or allergist for further testing and lifestyle modifications.

Before and after photos
Fig. 11.31 (A) Before photo. (B) After photo.
When this patient squints or smiles the lateral portion of her orbicularis oculi compresses the corners of her eyes as seen in Fig. 11.31. If it is noticed during animation, the lateral portion of her upper lid compresses down even over her lashes seen in Fig. 11.31A, and she loses much of her iris. After treatment, when she animates the skin of her upper eyelids remain off her lashes and she has a bright eye in animation, noticed in Fig. 11.31B.

The next patient is a unique case as she has chronic migraines and is treated by a neurologist with Botox. Part of the migraine treatment includes the neurologist treating the frontalis muscle. In general the neurologists are focused on the migraine not always the aesthetic. It is common to see patients with a flattened brow or a lid ptosis post-treatment for migraines. Notice the patient’s medial brow has been depressed and has forced the tail of her brow in an upwards fashion Fig. 11.32B. This is not an ideal patient that would benefit from treatment of the tail of the brow. She is flipped up a bit in Fig. 11.32B and in even more so with animation in Fig. 11.32A. This situation is an excellent reminder of the importance of assessment at rest and in animation.

Neuromodulation technique in lower eyelid wrinkles
Neuromodulation for infraocular space
Static and dynamic lines can occur in this area with or without treatment in concommitment areas. These lines may be there initially, or they may be caused by treating the orbicularis oculi muscle. This muscle can be discerned by examining for the presence of static lines. Should the patient have static lines in this area, one can be sure the neuromodulation did not cause it. It may, however, exacerbated it. Either way, it is an area that needs attention and can be bothersome to the patients.
Indications for treatment
Neuromodulation for injection is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe infraocular rhytids. Treatment in this area prevents complete contraction of the medial lower orbicularis oculi which can also open the aperture. The infraorbital rhytids course horizon­tally and radiate laterally from the medial canthus to the lateral canthus.
1. Lower eyelid wrinkles
2. Plapebral aperture lengthening (distance between the upper and lower
eyelid margin and creates a rounding of the eye shape)
3. Eye bulge “jelly role.” This is different from a festoon
Emotion
No real emotion attached here, just aged appearance
Muscles in treatment area
Orbicularis oculi Zygomaticus major Zygomaticus minor Levator Labii Superioris Nasalis
Muscles to be treated in the targeted zone
Preseptal medial orbicularis oculi
Special considerations
Hyperdynamic function of the nasalis muscles Severe lower eyelid dermatochalasis (skin laxity) Abnormal snap test
173Neuromodulation injection technique procedural steps

Festoons Lagophthalmos Excessive sceral show Ectropion
Previous eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) Another special consideration is the lip elevator muscles. The lip elevator muscles in the treatment area are the Zygomaticus major and Zygomaticus minor. The levator labii superioris sits anterior to the Zygomaticus minor. This muscle is typically far enough out of the treatment area but should be made note of due to its importance in the smile.
