I had Botox done 3 days ago. Forehead, 11’s, and crows feet. All of the injection sites look and feel normal, but my cheeks feel swollen. Can Botox make my cheeks swollen and look like chipmunk cheeks? I followed all post op instructions, including not laying down for 4 hours after appointment. Thank you

Answer: Does Botox cause “chipmunk cheeks?” Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately without photographs it is difficult to offer definite advice, but some temporary swelling of your tissues may accompany Botox treatment, and as it sets in over two weeks you should see normalization. I would take a photograph to document what you see now and then at two weeks to discuss with your injector. Hang in there!

Answer: Botox/Xeomin/Dysport--Results Take 1-2 weeks Without before and after pictures, this is difficult to answer, but you can have swelling, which can last 1-2 weeks. I would wait 2 weeks before assessing results. If you're unhappy with your final results, they can be softened with venus legacy and thermage treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
