Why did Botox cause hollowness around my eyes? How long will it last?

Bad placement of Botox can lead to this, once its worn off the eye bags and hollowness should resolve. Its best to see a board certified physician for all your aesthetic desires to ensure a result you wish to achieve,

Hi Marsha. If your Botox was injected too low on the cheek or under the eyes, there can be side effects including bags under the eyes or hollowness. We would need to see before and after pictures to determine if this was caused by the Botox. Ask your injector and if it is related, it will likely go back to normal very soon because you are at 7 weeks already.If it is unrelated, consider Restylane injections for under eye bags. See below link for photos.

botox at incorrect doses or injection sites can cause a muscle or group of muscles to begin to work improperly. many patients treated around the eyes often complain of increased wrinkling under the eyes or worsening bags and this is typically due to change in the lymphatic flow after botox since the musculature is working less to move normal fluid out of the area. also the temples can appear to be more hollow, due to the fact the orbicularis (eye muscle) atrohpies (thins) after botox because of muscle inactivity. you have to wait it out, roughly 3 months, till the botox wears off to get back to your normal appearance. filler can sometimes help, around the eyes and in the temples. Best of luck, Dr. E.
