“Bad Botox - 3 Units on Sides and 2 Underneath - Los Angeles, CA”

Welcome to the bad-results-from-botox club. Read my review and reviews from Amaxy, Beth F, Learning, Petrified and aboutface too. See if some of what we describe on our faces is similar to what has happened to you. I think nothing can help but time. Certainly more botox won't help! Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Yes I agree with what you said. I have such puffiness and swelling under my eyes from having botox for crows feet. I am so unhappy and I hate the way I look. I will never do it again!

For those who are prone to under eye puffiness (me), botox should never be given under the eyes (especially directly under the lashes) because it only makes the problem worse. Diminishing the pump action of the eyes by paralysing the muscle with botox makes it virtually impossible to clear swelling and fluid that accumulates over night. Any treatment of the crows feet areas should be done from the sides only not under the eyes at all if puffiness is going to be a problem. Any competent doctor should know this, right? But we trust them to know what they are doing when lots of them are clueless. If only I had done my research on botox BEFORE my diabolical result and not after. Have a look at my post to sunshine26 - I include a link to an article which addresses the botox & under eye puffiness issue directly. Hope your puffiness is going away. Try manual lymphatic drainage and/or acupuncture. Cheers

Hi Mimi. "Tried but Failed" is right about administering Botox under the eyes to those predisposed to puffiness. There is actually a "snap" test that allows your practitioner to determine if you are a good candidate for this type of injection and it sounds like this test was not performed. Also, 10 units of Botox for $175 seems a bit excessive. If you are considering an alternate practitioner in the future, we would be happy to book you for a free consultation. www.celibre.com or 800-958-8604. Either way, good luck.
