What Happens when Botox is Injected in the Upper Cheek Area?

May 31, 2013
Asked By:ohsugar714 in Austin, TX

I had my regular crows feet botox done yesterday by a different technician than usual. Usually I have three injections around the outer corner of my eye. She injected twice- one at the very outer corner by my orbital bone, and the second right outside my orbital on my upper cheek. I'm freaked out that it's going to affect my cheek muscle, as well as do nothing for my crows feet. What kind of effect should I expect? And should I ask for my money back?
