Summary Discuss how much line reduction you want and how much of your natural smile you wish to preserve. The assessment should include eye closure, smiling movements and existing eye discomfort, not just a neutral photograph.

Direct answer

Discuss how much line reduction you want and how much of your natural smile you wish to preserve. The assessment should include eye closure, smiling movements and existing eye discomfort, not just a neutral photograph.

Before your consultation

  • How should we define a natural result?
  • Should lines at rest and during a smile be assessed separately?
  • Should I disclose dry eyes or contact lens use?

General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.

How should we define a natural result?

Botulinum toxin temporarily modulates target muscle movements. Rather than simply aiming for no visible wrinkles, you should also consider your smile and the function around your eyes. Share with your medical team how much movement you would like to leave so that they can specify your desired results.

Should lines at rest and during a smile be assessed separately?

The depth of the line at the same location varies depending on the facial expression. Compare photos of you relaxed and smiling naturally, and ask if any fine wrinkles remaining on your skin can be resolved with intramuscular injections. Distinguishing between the two types of changes can reduce expectations of unnecessary additional procedures.

Should I disclose dry eyes or contact lens use?

Please tell us about your history of dry eyes, eyelid surgery, and treatment around the eyes. It is a good idea to keep your current eye discomfort in mind during your beauty consultation. Rather than determining suitability for contact lens use itself, describe in detail what symptoms you are experiencing and when they are severe.

Is under-eye fullness during a smile also a treatment target?

Volume in the crease around the eyes and under the eyes are not the same goal. In the photo, mark the lines you want to remove and the parts you want to keep. When you receive a proposal to expand the scope of treatment, it is important to hear the reasons for each treatment area separately and check whether it matches your initial goal.

Should comparison photos be taken without makeup?

Photo comparisons are easier to interpret when there are fewer differences in makeup and lighting. Do not compare only photos that meet the shooting conditions required by the clinic and show people smiling excessively or with their eyes tightly closed. Also check whether your actual daily facial expressions are comfortable and whether there is an unwanted difference between the left and right sides.

Which photos help an eye-area consultation in downtown Daegu?

If you are looking for botulinum toxin around your eyes in Daegu city, prepare a photo showing your usual smile. Check the official wrinkle botulinum toxin eye area treatment list, but the actual scope and dosage will be determined after examination. During your Dongseong-ro consultation, clearly communicate the priority between reducing wrinkles and maintaining facial expressions.
