Why did Botox around my eyes worsen my wrinkles? (photos)

EllPe
I got botox for the first time two days ago. I went to a board certified dermatologist. I wanted to reduce my under eye wrinkles and crows feet. She gave me 25 injections total on both eyes. I now look horrible when I smile. I now have deep hollows and puffy wrinkles under my eyes that weren't there before the injections. Is this normal? Did the doctor inject too much or in the wrong places to cause this?
