Will Swelling and Bags Under Eyes Caused by Botox Every Go Away? Getting Worse @ 15 Weeks? (photo)

Asked By:anonymous104

15 weeks ago I was injected w/ 21 units in glabella area @ a provider recommended on the botox website. I developed HUGE bags under my eyes & have extreme swelling. I took pictures daily. Plastic surgeon reviewed before/after pictures & said the botox paralyzed the muscle around my eye, stopping it from pumping out lympathic fluid. He was empathatic, but said he has seen this type of botox swelling last over a year. Has anyone else seen this? Can anyone offer any information that may be helpful?
