I had a PRP treatment (and a small amount of Botox to address creping under my eyes). I had severe black eyes and swelling after. As the swelling went down the wrinkling under my eyes got worse. I went back after a few weeks and received more Botox. It's been 4 days. the wrinkling is different but not gone. Most concerning is a new divot under my eye. I'm hoping this will relax since it takes up to 2 weeks for the full effect. I've had Botox before and have never had this reaction. Thoughts?
