Tear Trough Deepened with Botox, is this Normal?

December 18, 2011
Asked By:678sandy in Briarcliff Manor, NY

I have had botox twice, both with the same doctor. I loved the results except that my tear trough seemed to deepen and extend down my cheek a little more, on both eyes, giving me a tired look. He did inject a little below parallel to my eye, as my crow's feet under my eye are pronounced. I want to return to him, but should I ask him not to inject under the eye area? I am 57.
