What Is a Jelly Roll?
The aging process affects the thinner skin of the face first, and the skin around the eyes is especially thin and delicate. Because of this, the area is prone to crow’s feet, eyelid sagging, and fine wrinkles beneath the eyelids.
These fine wrinkles appear below the lower eyelids whenever a person squints or smiles. Squinting or smiling causes the muscle of the lower eyelid (the orbicularis oculi mucle) to contract, forming a bulge. This bulge is called a jelly roll.
How Does Jelly Roll Botox Work?
Jelly roll Botox, also called undereye Botox, involves precise injections of Botox Cosmetic into the orbicularis oculi muscle. This blocks nerve signals to this muscle, allowing it to relax and shrink.
Only a small amount of Botox is required to relax this muscle. It’s best to keep the amount conservative, since over-relaxing the muscle can reduce lymphatic flow in the area, increasing swelling and puffiness.
After the treatment takes effect, the jelly roll bulge is reduced, and the skin of the undereye area becomes smoother again. Patients’ eyes look wider, and it becomes easier for them to keep their eyes open while smiling.
Since only a small amount of Botox is administered, results typically last for one to three months. After this time, patients must return for follow-up injections.
Is Jelly Roll Botox Right for Me?
Most patients are good candidates for jelly roll Botox. If you have jelly rolls beneath your eyes, likelihood is very strong that this procedure will be right for you.
Patients who have gotten surgery near the eye or eyelid area may not be ideal candidates for jelly roll Botox. This is because these patients may be at risk for a lag in the movement of the lower eyelid after Botox treatment. The lag may only be aesthetic, or it may affect functionality, and it can result in dry eye.
Patients with undereye bags, dark circles, hollowness, or puffiness cannot benefit from jelly roll Botox. These patients are instead encouraged to come in for undereye filler injections, which restore volume, rejuvenating the region.
If you have jelly rolls and also have any of the above conditions, we will be happy to perform Botox and filler injections as a combination treatment. During these sessions, filler injections are performed first, followed by Botox injections.
