How long will eye bags & upper eye swelling last after having Ulthera & Botox?

bigmassFeb 23, 2017
3 wks ago I had full face ulthera & botox in forehead,between eyebrows & at 'crows feet' for the first time - face settled down within 24hrs and looked no different than before treatment.however,on day five I developed eyebags & swelling to upper eyelids ( the skin between my eyebrow and top of eyelid has folded down and covered my eyelids ) now look far worse than before treatment - getting worried swelling is permanent- is it normal to have swollen eyes after these procedures? - Many thanks
