Under eye and cheek drop after Botox in crow's feet; permanent or temporary? (photos)

notideal
I just had 7 units of Botox injected in the crow's feet area, for the first time. 6 days later, I developed the "chipmunk" effect in the apple of the cheek upon smiling. More concerning, I have about 1cm drop under my eyes, and upper cheek. The natural volume loss and dark circles I had prior now look worse. A lot of patients online reported the same effects, claiming they became permanent and that Botox caused actual volume loss at the top of cheek and under the eyes. Thoughts/opinions? Thanks.
