4 months ago I went in to have my regular Botox treatment of my crows feet, forehead and 11's I've had for 7 years now by the same practioner. That day he used less around the eyes than usual. One month later I started having spasms under and above my eyes. I returned to him and he added more but this time under the eyes too. This made my bags worse and puffy. It's been 3 months now and the puffiness is getting worse instead of better. What could be the cause and why am I not getting better?
