I am about 35 days after Botox injections in my under eye and crow feet. My face does this thing now where I have bags under my eyes that were not there before. They only appear when smiling. My injector says that these are herniated fat pads and that they will go away once the Botox wears off. Is this true? I have read reports of under eye Botox bags lasting from 6 months into indefinitely and I'm very nervous of the possibility of this being permanent. What happened?
