I have been treated with botox 3 times now in crows feet area. This past time I went I know she gave me 7.5 units per side. After about a week I noticed my cheeks looked like they were sagging and my nasolabial lines had worsened. I also notice that my cheeks feel heavy and almost numb, especially when I wake up first thing in the morning. I know she puts one injection right under my pupil area along with the sides and I'm thinking that that lowest injection is what is causing the problem.

Answer: Fallen cheeks following Botox injections Thank you for sharing your question. I have had patients referred to me for evaluation of your described problem. The Botox was either injected too low or it migrated to effect the muscle of the cheek. It will resolve in a few months without treatment. Make sure experienced doctors perform all procedures. Good luck,

Answer: Botox Affecting Cheeks Thank you for your question. I am very sorry to hear about your experience. Please allow for about 12 weeks for the Botox to wear off in your cheeks. In the meantime, warm compresses, massage and facial exercises may help you to regain muscle activity more quickly. I would advise you to see an experienced injector for an in-person reevaluation in order to fully address your concerns and to determine the best course of action. Best wishes!
