Hello, I am 6 months out from crows feet and under eye Botox at my dermatologists’ office (for wrinkles). Crows feet worked well in past, this was first time I received under eye Botox. I received 3 units under each eye to terrible effect: sunken eyes, swelling under eyes, and a massive wrinkle where cheek meets under eye. I’ve been consistentl told at 3-4 months it would resolve.
