My cosmetic doctor injected botox underneath my eye at the outer corners. As soon as I felt the botox take effect checked in a mirror I was horrified to see that I had massive bags and wrinkling under the eye. I went back to her 2 days later and she told me that it was a side effect that should get better within 7-10 days. Now I'm reading information online that it could actually take months? What has gone wrong and how long will it take to right itself?
Answer: Botox Botox is a medication that should be injected in the crow's feet area of the eyes. The lower eyelid should be avoided as one can weaken the lower eyelid muscles causing difficulty in the eyelids closing. From the pictures that I see, it would be difficult for me to comment as there is a difference in lighting. Generally speaking Botox does not cause bags . A baggy lower eyelid or an eyelid with many lines was probably present before the treatment was initiated.

Answer: Botox under the eyes
Botox injected too deeply around the eyes can cause swelling under the eyes since relaxing the muscle pump in this area will cause fluid to accumulate. Lymphatic drainage techniques offered by some aestheticians below the eyes may help. Sleeping on a few pillows to elevate your head and cold steeped green tea bags may also help but you will need to wait a few months until the Botox effect wears off. Next time, fewer units of Botox placed superficially should prevent this swelling. Please have treatment with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an experienced injector.
