Why Does Botox Treatment for Crows Feet Make Dents in my Cheeks, Wrinkles Worse and Bags Under my Eyes?

Charmed3
For the last couple of botox treatments (by 2 different docs) my wrinkles are worse when treating my crow's feet. I also have flattened cheeks and bags under my eyes. I had this treatment years ago and the doctor who did it only injected near my temples and it was only one shot on each side of my eyes. It worked great! So could it be the injection placement? Should I go back to injecting the temple area? And why would that work better than the 3 injections around my eyes that the other docs did?
