Be patient! The effects of Botox are not permanent and should gradually disappear with time. By all means, you should discuss your concerns with your physician or nurse injector and get their input. Thanks for your question. I hope this helps!
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.

A: Botox around the eyes
On the picture, it looks like you have quite a bit of Botox injected. Occasionally too much Botox around the eyes will relax and flatten the muscle around the orbit, and make things look similar to yours. Not too worry, it will gradually wear off. You probably will not have much left in a couple of months, or... more

I can't make out your issue in the photograph. However, what you are describing is a little too much weakening of the lower eyelid muscle at the lower outer corner of the eyelid. This muscle is called the orbicularis oculi muscle. It surrounds the eye and at the edge of the eyelids, it functions to close the... more
A: Botox always goes away
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.

Hi Mtoney I had botox 5 weeks ago and have the exact same problem as yours, since it has been a couple of months since you asked this question, can you put my mind at rest and tell me if your face is back to normal and if so how long it took? I am terrified that I am going to be left like this as it is horrible and strange looking. Many thanks
