Eyelid swelling, hooded eyes after Botox, will this get worse?

May 29, 2017
Asked By:SallyAnne in San Diego, California

I'm very conservative with how much Botox I use in my frontalis -- I went in about a month early on Friday (it's now Sunday) with some movement and got a bit in my forhead and above my brows, in my eleven line and crow's feet. Not many units (about 24 total for all). However, I've noticed my brows are swollen near my tear duct & eyes and quite hooded. Usually they look bigger. I'm not happy and hoping this wears off soon? Is there anything I can do and will this get worse? Thank you kindly.
