Three Botox Injections in Crows Feet Area, Bunny Lines and Under the Eyes

May 2, 2011
Asked By:Eliza Mae in England

I Now Have a Very Prominent tear trough on the left side where the ridge protrudes. I can only put it down to the botox. Can botox cause this and if so will it rectify itself as it wears off? The other tear trough is fine and Ive never had any issue with them before the botox. I also get slight tingling near the ridge.
