By tracy theakston on 25 Feb 2013

i had this done 2 half week ago and have in the last week got really bad eye bags the doctor who administered it says its tiredness and stress and nothing to do with the botox - is there anything i can do to deal with this ? I have always had slight bags when tired etc and told the doctor that i really wanted to get rid of them i never had a problem with lines around my forehead etc they have gone completely but now my eyes look horrific i look like i havent slept for a month - please help !!!

No i am having Botox treatment since 4 months but it not cause bad eye bags.The effect or wrinkle free appearance is there upto six months. However, if the treatment is continued the effects may last longer.

Hi, im so sorry you are going through the same mess that im in. Its been nine months for me, and I still have eye bags. Ive never had eyebags before. I noticed them like ten days after being injected. Crying and stressing these 9 months hasnt helped my eyebags at all. Mine look worse. So the only advice I can give you is to stay positive. Try not to cry and stress, it only makes matters worse. Four months after botox I felt my muscles contracting back, but my bags were left behind. Im doing eye excercises and drinking alot of water. Honestly havent seen any inprovement yet, but im not going to give up. So you will have to wait four months and hopefully you will be back to your original state. Good luck!
