Why Do I have Puffy and Vertical Lines when Trying to Raise My Eyebrows After Botox?

Asked By:miffy0804 in Edmonton, AB

Hi, I just got my first botox done 5 days ago. She gave me 26 units on my forehead, on the side and underneath of both my teyes. She also injected 22 units between my brows. After 5 days, the skin below my eye brows seems folded and cover my upper eye lids. When I try to raise my eyebrows or open my eyes widely (which I am unable to do it yet). There are maybe about 5 or 6 vertical lines of wrinkles appeared the space between eyebrow and my upper eyelids. I look like a joker if eyebrow raise
