After Botox for crows feet, I got puffiness under my eyes that lasts for two weeks. What could be causing this? (Photo)

I regularly receive Botox for crows feet and usually don't have problems. More recently, I've had persistent swelling under my eyes at the injection site for up to two weeks. Normally this area is completely flat and I have no normal bags under my eyes. Eventually it resolves but it take a long time and looks bad. It does not respond to icing or anything else. Is it muscle laxity? Irritation? Why does it only happen sometimes?
