Delayed Swelling After Botox on Undereye Area?
I was injected a month ago directly beneath both eyes with Botox. The swelling referred to my other people on this site seems to have resulted from the Botox migrating and the Doctors have agreed that the effects will wear off.
Does this also apply when the area was deliberately injected with the effects showing a week or so after and still terribly bad after a month?

There are some individuals that I have seen that the muscle has not completely recovered- this is not common.

I would discourage you from having Botox injected directly into your under eye...

Delayed swelling after botox to undereye area
What might have occurred in your case is relaxation of the orbicularis oculi muscle under the eyes resulting in herniation (protrusion) of the underlying fat and soft tissue.

If the problem persists in 3 months, I would consult an oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeon. I would also notify your injecting...
