My under eyes have been puffy for 2 weeks now . This was since I had Botox at the side of my eyes. It looks terrible and i know the Botox had caused it. What I want to know is, how do I get rid of it? Can anyone help me on this issue? Thanks.

Answer: The good thing is that Botox always goes away. There are many possibilities for the cause, but only one really answer for the problem (time). If it is due to Botox, the good thing is that Botox always goes away. However, it will take 4 to 6 months for the Botox to wear off. If it occurred immediately after the injections, then it is likely due to swelling or hematoma which will resolve over a few days to a few weeks, respectively. If it did not occur for 3 to 7 days after the injections, then you may have to wait several months for the Botox to wear off. The Botox may have loosened up the orbicularis to a point that it allows the intra-orbital contents to bulge. In any case, speak with your doctor about your concerns. Good luck.
