I had restylane injected into the tear troughs by a renowned specialist for this procedure. This was 3 days ago. My eyes now look much smaller. (This didn't happen with my previous doctor who used a cannula but she caused Tyndale effect.. Also, 9 months ago she overfilled my cheeks so my new doctor was filling under eye area while I still have big cheeks. Is this why my eyes look small?) I don't want the hollows back but want my eyes to be big again. Would botox help the eyes look big again?

Answer: Tear trough treatment has made my eyes much smaller - would Botox help?
Most likely a small blood vessel was nicked with the botox injection in the crows feet. Blood and fluid migrates very easily in the eye area. It probably collected in the "tear trough" area while sleeping. Try ice packs, arnica, and see if your injector offers a pulsed dye...
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
