What could Botox have done to my eyes? (Photo)

Question

I had botox applied to my forehead, around my eyes and masseters 6 months ago. However, my eyes and looks have changed and still haven't returned to their previous state. I can't understand what's going on. Will this last forever? I'm 24. My psychology is broken. Below is the before botox photo. Above photo after botox

Botox might temporarily reduce the drooping of the eyelids or the eyebows. This causes opening the eyes which gives you the appearance of larger eyes. This is temporary. Effects of Botox disappears in time. You will be back to your old self in no time.

The only difference I can perceive is that your eyebrows are a bit higher in your after photos than your before photo. Since you're young, it's possible that the effects of Botox are still lasting at six months after your procedure. If that's the case, it will wear off soon. Results of Botox are completely temporary. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Botox works by affecting the injected muscle's ability to contract.  The result is a softening of lines, giving a refreshed appearance to the face and eyes.  The effects of the product are temporary, typically lasting 3 to 4 months though it can be longer in some patients.  If you are able to animate fully by raising your brows, frowning, etc then the Botox has worn off.  I've included a video on Botox that I hope you find helpful.
