Asked By:Botoxxy in Cedar Park, TX

I had 15 units of Botox 3 weeks ago. 10 units in my forehead and 5 or less in between my brows. After the treatment things were fine. I have had Botox a number of times in the past few years. As the weeks have progressed under my eyes has gotten dark and with bags. My right eye is seriously inflamed. I have never had this happen before. I have been on doxy from my general doctor assuming it was an eye infection. Would Botox cause this? Can it be fixed.
