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?

Lumps after Botox typically happen immediately after and do away fairly quickly.  However, if you have these lumps the next day it could possibly signal an allergy.  I would return to your treating physician for examination.  Best, Dr. Green

Thank you for your question. From the information you have provided, you should not suffer any contraindications from Botox. Discuss your medical history with an expert injector before treatment. All the best,

Thank you for your question. it is unlikely you will experience any adverse effects from Botox. You can still touch your face, it would be the act of massaging the Botox into a muscle it is not indicated for. All the best,
