Shawn Allen, MD answers: Should there be wrinkles after Botox?

I had Botox injected into my crow's feet 5 days ago. It's certainly done the job on the deep lines I had around the corners of my eyes. However, I'm sure my eyes now look extra wrinkly underneath, which isn't what I intended.

Does this happen a lot and is there a remedy for it?

Botox will take 7 to 21 days to reach maximum results.  After that time period if you still see minimal change the "static" lines will likely be better served by fractionated or full ablative laser resurfacing. The best option is to treat with Botox wait 2 weeks then use a laser to brush over the remianing lines.
