Asked By:MarkVL in Europe

Hi,I am Mark from the Netherlands. Two days ago i've had botox for my crow's feet (6 units total, 3 units p. eye); but now i look like i've been in a bar fight! It's getting worse by the hour :(How can it be not the spots that were injected are black and blue but under my eyes, a different facial region, it is? Is this normal or is the injecting doctor to blame?And how long will this last?
