Asked By:MichelleSims in West Hollywood, CA

hi! i had botox injected for the first time on the crows feet area 9 months ago. the next day i had a puffy bag section under my left eye that i have never had before in my life (i am 40) i've never had bags under my eyes, and only had a few fine lines before getting the botox. it's 9 months later and that little puffy bag is still there. will it ever go away? did the botox permanently paralyze that muscle and it is not able to get rid of the fluid under that eye now? help!!
