Prominent Veins After Botox for Crow's Feet

March 8, 2009
Asked By:chloerose in Rochester, NY

I had Botox for crows feet eight months ago. The Botox effects are gone (and they were not good), but now I have what looks like a varicose vein next to the corner of each eye. I did not have this before. I know the doctor punctured a vein on the worst side because I got a big lump and bruising, which took a week to subside. Now eight months later, I have the popped veins near the temple area of each eye. What can be done about this?
