Are these bags under eye from Botox due to fluid retention or Botox causing fat pad to protrude more? (Photos)

vivbb
I have under eye fat pads that 3 Oculoplastic Surgeons suggested a bleph, drape the fat over, 1 said i should try filler first which he felt would help and could avoid surgery. I went to a well known cosmetic derma for injectables. She wouldn't do filler saying it wouldn't help and suggested laser & botox on side of eyes (5 injects per eye with 1 injection being directly under mid eye). i did botox only, 5 days later i woke w pocket under each eye. is there anything to help with this?
