Swollen eyelids 20 days after Botox (Photo)

August 31, 2017
Asked By:cass845 in Oak Brook, IL

I had botox almost three weeks ago for the first time. First I had redness under my right eye and dry skin, it also started to swell. Now both my left and right eye are swollen (the eyelids) and I still have redness patch under my right eye. My doctor who I went to for the injections said it was definitely not a reaction to the botox and is just allergies. I do have allergies this time of year, but I am so petrified because I have read a lot online about droopy eyelids after botox. PLEASE HELP
