Deep Undereye Lines After Botox

March 31, 2009
Asked By:Marie D in West Midlands

I had Botox around the eyes 10 days ago. But when I smile, I get accentuated deep lines under both eyes over the cheek bone that I've never had before. There are also some residue lines leading off that have not been captured by the Botox. This makes it look as though my eye area is very tight and shallow and my cheeks swollen. I am told this cannot be corrected. Is this true as I have never seen this on other people? I can't attach a picture at present.
