Is 16 units of botox too much for the eyes area for someone with no wrinkles?

weirdeyes
Dear doctors, I am 29 and I had botox injected around my eyes 3 months ago. I have no wrinkles but only some small lines when I smile & is only visible under a microscope. The injection was a total of 6 pricks and 16 units. Since then, I am experiencing severe eye problems. Eye bags which were not present before the botox, under eyelid droop, chipmunk cheeks, unable to close my eyes fully, extreme dry eyes & eye irritations. Felt like someone punched me in the eye. Did doc inject too much botox?
