Asked By:mia bella12 in Los Angeles, CA

10 weeks post Botox to glabellar area 5 points. (18 units) still having puffy lower eyelids and darkness. I had Botox injected April 1. April 2 woke up to swollen eyes, especially lower eyelids. Took benadryl, 5 days of prensione, allergy medicine (even though i didn't have allergies). Finally had blood drawn at doctors office all came back normal. Went to eye doctor and eyes are all good. What could it be? Seems a little better as time passes could this be from the Botox?
