Will my under eyes go back to normal after having Jelly Roll Botox? (Photo)

Question

I got jelly roll Botox in January and I am not liking it. It has made my under very eyes hollow. I know the Botox can take anywhere from 3-6 months to wear off, but will my under eyes ever look the same? The skin that was my jelly roll is loose and wrinkles every time I smile. Will that skin tighten back up? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to help while the Botox wears off and help the muscles tighten back up? The first photo was before Botox and the last two after a month after.

The effects of Botox are temporary, typically lasting three to four months.  You should gradually see improvement over the coming months and should return to a look similar to the one you had prior to treatment.

You have already made a small mistake by having Botox injected into the lower eyelid, which weakens the muscle and makes the orbital fat come out and look like a small bag in the lower eyelid. Don’t rush into anything and let Botox completely wear off, however long it may take. Any rash decisions will only hurt you. Once everything comes back to normal and it should, see a plastic surgeon only if necessary. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
