Can botox around the eyes cause permanent damage?

November 25, 2014
Asked By:weirdeyes in Australia, AU

I am 29 this year and this is my first botox experience. I am 2 weeks post botox around the eyes and I am devastated that when I smile, there is no movement around my eyes and my cheeks puff up and I have the chipmunk look. I have bags and dark circles under my eyes after botox. I feel a weird pressure around my eyes and suffer from dry eyes. I originally have almond shape eyes and now they look round and dead. I am afraid that this will become permanent. Will my eyes go back to normal? Thanks!
