I had botox to crow's feet and I look AWFUL. I'm so upset. I have several Christmas parties to attend and I feel so self concious. I was hesitant to have botox to crow's area, but the Plastic Surgeon assured me that "the only thing that can happen is that you'll have no crow's feet." Now I have like 4 parenthesis around each side of mouth when I smile, before botox I only had 1-2. What went wrong, and is there anything I can do? I am going back today to see what he can do.
Answer: Botox and wrinkles around the mouth
There is very little that you can do at this point. I would allow the Botox to wear off and refrain from further treatment in the future.

Answer: Botox in crows feet and new smile folds
It appears that you have deep paraconcentric smile folds. These were possible to make when yousmiled before botox in the crows feet but now you are noticing them more. It seems with such a big smile in your photograph that there is virtually no creasing in the lower eyelid skin. The latter usually persists after Botox crows feet injections and sometimes is even more demonstrable from a compensatory reaction of non-treated muscles. If your muscles near the cheek bone were treated at the lowest crows foot area, then this might cause there to be less lower eyelid lines and less upward elevation of the corner of the lip when you smile. The other lateral cheek muscles may compensate and work harder to create the paraconcentric smile folds. It will go away in a few months or less but you shouldn't have any Botox injected into the cheek to weaken these lines because that will drop your lower face. If you don't smile too wide, your new smile lines probably won't be as evident. it

Answer: Botox injection to crow's feet resulting in parentheses
I would agree with Dr. Kavali's assessment. The Botox can diffuse beyond the area that it is injected and this may have happened in your case. The good news is that it will dissipate with time. The bad news is that it may take3-4 months. Occasionally I have seen the Botox "overshoot" for the first two weeks and then ease off.

Answer: The good and bad on botox
Botox can make yourforehead smooth and your brows higher. If you have a lot of lines around your eyes and you get a lot of botox around the lateral orbit close to your cheek, it can make the cheeks lower. It will corrct itself in a month or two. It all depends on how low it was injected. You do have a nice result on your forehead. Maybe try to smile a bit less forcefull and if you want to improve the cheeks, volumize with a filler. It will partially correct your cheek droopiness if injected high and lateral on your cheek,over the zygoma bone area.

Answer: Major Increase in Nasolabial Folds After Botox for Crow's Feet
Placing large volumes of Botox in any one place and or rubbing may result in the Botox moving lower and causing an unwanted effect lower down. Without examining you it is hard to tell, but it appears the Botox placed to smooth your Crow's feet may have migrated lower and weakened some of the muscles lifting the cheek. as a result, some descent of the cheek may have taken place accentuating the nose to lip lines. This will resolve in a few months as the Botox effect goes away.
