I put Botox in my crow's feet wrinkles about 2 weeks ago. 5 to 6 days after the injections, one eye swell and the other day the other one. The swelling went away within 2 days, but it scared me heaps.

My nurse says that maybe I shouldn't take it again. I can't find anyone else on the Internet who has the same experience.

Overall, the Botox results are great, but I am not sure whether I am going to continue with it.

I thought I should give an update. I had another round of botox 2 months go. No swollen eyes, no problems, all was fine, and the results are again excellent.

I don't know what happened the first time, it's possible it wasn't related to the injections.

I had botox a week ago and have no movement at all (in my forehead and eyes). My eyelids are swollen which makes me look more tired. Is this normal? If so, when will it dissipate? I called my doctor and she said to massage my temples. Will this take the swelling away?

I had injections about 4 days ago---my eyelids are very "puffy".....I remember this happened last time I had it and i do not remember it lasting very long (more than a few days though but not longer than 3 wks)
hope that helped a little

I had botox between the brow 9 days ago. I have quite a bit of swelling in both eyelids now. I remember having some swelling the first time but don't think it last much longer than a week or two. Hope its soon tho.

I had botox 4 days ago on my forehead and in between my brows. they injected a total of 25 units. i saw results immediately but my eyelids are swollen a bit which looks like allergies/tired... I was told by the RN yesterday to buy a gel mask for my eyes. I did and will try that. I just hope my eyes dont look so tired soon. I would love an more input.
