Can Botox Cause Puffiness and Dark Circles Under Your Eyes?

Charlotte6632
I received botox for the first time and am a 33 year old Asian. I had a total of 16 units (4 in my procerus, 3 each in my corrugators, 2 units in my left frontalis, 1 in the middle and right frontalis and 1 unit each in my crow's feet. After 3-4 days, I got dark bags and puffiness directly under my eyes. Two weeks after the treatment, the puffiness and dark bags got slightly worse. It has not improved yet. I have never had a prior history of bagginess, dark circles or puffiness.
