At rest my face seems to have fallen and looks puffy. When I smile my face looks fat. Can only 6 units of Botox do this? Also my crows feet’s look worse!
Answer: Can #Botox distort your face? Yes, certainly it can. Depending on the amount of product injected, location of injection, etc it can alter your facial movement. Botox and other neurotoxins work by relaxing the muscles of the face to soften them and minimize wrinkling. The effect can be seen as early as a few days and full effect at 10-14 days. The results typically last 3-4 months on average. The injection should cause very minimal, temporary swelling so facial puffiness after injection would be unusual. 6 units of Botox is a VERY small dose so unlikely to have a significant effect unless focally placed in an area for a very specific reason. You should follow up with your injector for an assessment and see if additional treatment for correction is indicated. As always, please make sure to consult and receive treatment by board-certified plastic surgeons and dermatologists. Good luck!

Answer: Distortion after Botox if you had a total of only 6 units that is not enough to do much of anything good or bad. if the zygomaticus under the eye was hit with Botox it is possible to look puffy and distorted but the amount is not enough. see melvinelsonmd.net
