I had Botox yesterday and now my upper eyelids are hollow and sunk in. What can cause this? (photos)

Asked By:jj15351 in Denver, CO

I had the forehead done, not the crows feet. Still have moderate forehead movement but my upper eyelids have sunken in. I read there are fat pads in the eyes but no where have I found any reasoning behind sudden loss with Botox. I can’t even apply make up today on my eye lid as it is so sunken in. I understand the eye brows can sink if Botox is done incorrectly but I don’t think that has happened when I look at older pictures of myself. Also that doesn’t explain the hollowness. Please help.
