35 year old female I have been getting botox in my forehead for over a year. Recently decided to try it around crows feet for the first time. I experienced pretty bad dry eye. It’s been 4 months & my eyes are returning to normal. I’m about to go for a touch up in my forehead & I’m curious if I should try Botox around my crows feet again. Could it just have been off placement that caused dry eye? Or is this something that I’m just more susceptible to & will likely always experience this?
