I am 35 and 5 days ago I received my first Botox injections from a very reputable clinic, administered by RN that has been doing injections for 7 years. I got 28 units total. 10 for crows feet, 3 for eyebrows and 1 under each eye for my "jelly rolls" Now I have bags under my eyes that are not going away. They are terrible!!! Is this normal, will they go away? Can I go back to the clinic? Would fillers help?

Answer: Botox and Under Eyes Sometimes botox can make the under eye wrinkles and bags worse, I avoid treating this area unless truly needed. It will improve over the next 3 months. Venus legacy or fillers/lasers can help at this point. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: BOTOX AND BAGS UNDER THE EYES Because the Botox relaxes the muscles, then your muscle in the lower eyelids (orbicularis oculi) is not contracting as before and there is some relaxation on the lower eyelid that makes the fat around the eyes to look more prominent. This is a temporal effect and as you just got 1 unit, the effect it does not last as long and maybe 3 or 4 weeks, the muscle will regain strength and then those rolls will be much better. Do not use any fillers, it will just get worst, as you will have more swelling on that area. Contact your injector, so she knows about this side effect, so next time can be avoided.
