I had Botox to treat crows feet 3 months ago and ended up with a pseudoherniation of the orbital fat pad under my left eye. I've reviewed questions about this problem, and doctors responses, on realself. Consistent with other, I have had creping of the skin for both eyes & the botox injection for the this eye was toward the middle of the under eye. While the creping has improved slightly since I started to get some movement back, the pseudoherniation persists. I know doctors have said it should pass (in theory), but can you tell me if you have seen a patient with a botox-induced psuedohernaition that has resolved.

It appears that you want a great deal to be done fast. That, in itself is good, but the way you have done it doesn't seem to work.
I agree with the other drs who advised you to wait for 6 months.
Even though this would be the best course of action, it may prove difficult to do.
With the Botox...
Thank you for your question. What you have described is very rare and mostly likely the needle hit a sensory nerve. There is no need to worry as there is no long term effect. The nerve most likely has a small bruise on it and will take some time to heal. I recommend following up with injector...
There is no way to speed up Botox activation but if you need a faster onset of action, the next treatment you can ask for Dysport, which is a botulinum toxin serotype A just as Botox Cosmetic is, but may have an affect a day earlier than Botox.
