Does Botox cause “chipmunk cheeks?”

August 8, 2018
Asked By:brittany122 in Scottsdale, AZ

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
