Deep Creases Under Eyes After Botox for Crows Feet

October 24, 2010
Asked By:Schaumburg2505 in Schaumburg, IL

I received Botox for my crows feet area. She used 5 units on each side. I now have deep horozontal creases under each eye. It seems that since the muscles don't contract on the sides of my eyes, now the tissue underneath has nowhere to go when I smile and the cheeks push up. Is this a common problem, or did I not receive enough Botox to do the job right?
