Botox always goes away

David Shafer, MD answers: Plump cheeks after Botox

I had Botox in the crow's feet 5 weeks ago, and now my cheeks look too plump. When I smile, it makes deep wrinkles, where the cheek swells, and the under eyes meet. I look worse (with deeper wrinkles) than I was before. My face looks good when I make no expressions, but my cheeks are plump when I smile, and the deep creases or wrinkles are terrible. Will this eventually go down? I have a wedding in 2 months, and I'm worried it won't look better by then. Will Botox in the under eye area help to even out the plumpness? Thanks so much.

mtoney,

Since your event is in two months and you had the Botox one 5 weeks ago, there is a chance that the Botox will be wearing off by then.

The nice thing is that Botox always goes away. It is possible to inject Botox under your eyes, but please be cautious about who you let do this. Good Luck.
