Balikian RV, Zimbler MS Primary and adjunctive uses of botulinum toxin type A in the periorbital region. [Journal Article, Review] Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am 2005 Nov; 13(4):583-90, vii.
Chemodenervation with botulinum toxin has become an integral part of the facial plastic armamentarium. Although eyebrow and eyelid cosmetic deformities and asymmetries have traditionally been treated by surgical intervention, Botox can now be incorporated effectively into the treatment plan. When the surgeon has a complete understanding of facial anatomy and muscular interactions, Botox can be used as a primary treatment of the periorbital region or as an adjunct to surgical procedures of the periorbital region.
