Indentations in forehead after Botox. Could it be a collapsed vein? (Photo)

Looking for the why
with in the next week after having Botox indentations and a look of spreading with darker color in spots taking place.I went back to the spa where the doctors aren't sure. same nurse I've used for yrs. My fear is the nurse hit a large vein and it spread and collapsed veins through out? I know that most will say this is highly unlikely, I know but is it possible and what will be in the coming months if there is clotting forming or circulation from these paralyzed veins. Any help or guidance
