I am sorry to say that I honestly do not know how many units of Botox I had but it was not much at all! I never went back and really asked b/c I was so upset. By 6 months, I only felt about 50% healed, so if you are further along than that, I think that's a great sign!

I would say I am about 90% back to normal; but the skin was stretched so it never recovered to the point of elasticity that it was previously at.

I do think that there is hope that it will continue to improve. Sadly, many of us did not see real improvement until the one-year mark, despite the various approaches we tried to get rid of the eye bags. So it does seem that the old cliché, time heals, is applicable in this situation, even though it is extremely frustrating.

I sent you a private message; since it was long-winded, I didn't want to clutter up this area!

It honestly took almost an entire year. And occasionally I still have days where my bags are noticeable. I think that is b/c the skin was s tretched out during that time frame. I am so very sorry to hear that you also are in pain; that is awful. I tried anything and everything to make the bags go away quicker. The only things I felt like helped were running (or any cardio probably would work) b/c it released some of the swelling and facial exercises / face yoga, which I began doing aroung 6 months. I hope yours resolves much quicker and please, please keep us updated.
