I had Botox done on my crows feet and I believe the doctor used too much. I now have protruding bags under my eyes. Will these go away when the muscle tightens up again or is there a chance that they won't? What is the time frame?
Answer: Eye bags after Botox will go away Botox actions will fade away in 3-4 months. If the swelling is caused by the needle or by a small bleeder, it should go away much quicker. Best of luck!

Answer: Give it 3-5 months for Botox effect to wear off on lower eyelids Yes, it is most probable that the bags will resolve when the Botox effect dissapates. For the eyes this tends to begin and 3 months and will likely return to normal by 5 months after injection.

Answer: Botox has a temporary efftect but will vary with each patient I have several patients that experience a prolonged effect from Botox. The longest time span is about 6 months. Relaxation of the muscle of the lower eyelid usually leads to a droopy eyelid. There is a connective tissue barrier, the orbital septum, that keeps the eyefat from bulging. There is a muscular layer between the eyelid skin and the septum and that is what the Botox can relax. It is possible that with relaxation of the muscular sling, you lose that second barrier preventing the fat from bulging. When the Botox effect wears off, the bulging should resolve.

Answer: Your lower lids will return to their original appearance in 3-4 months or sooner Your lower lid appearance will return to the condition it was prior to the Botox injection in a couple of months. There is no permanent effect of the Botox. Some patients with Botox injections around the lower lid have puffiness for a few days to a few weeks. This may be due to the needle injection itself and not the Botox. If the fullness persists longer, then as you mentioned in your question it may be due to relaxation of the muscle.
