Ive had botox 3 times in total. This time, in March, the injector injected a tiny amount under my eye (near tear duct I believe), which resulted in huge eye bags. In total, this took 5/6 month to wear off. It was a hideous journey. When I look down, there is still a bag line under 1 eye. Any ideas why this is still there? Is there nerve damage? Thank you

The effects of Botox are temporary. Typically results will last three to four months. As the product gradually is metabolized you should return to the look you had prior to treatment. I encourage you to speak to your injector about your concerns to avoid this issue in the future.
“when should I start?” This is common question. Late 20s and early 30s is a great time. The earlier you begin the less upkeep in the end. For example, say your nurse practitioner gives you 25 units of botox. The next few months you will probably stay around that same dose if not less. Then say...
