Puffy swollen eyelids that feel heavy and uncomfortable after Botox? (Photos)

kstrickland89
I had my first Botox injection of 22 units 10 days ago. I didn't notice any results until 5 days later when I noticed how puffy my eyelids were. I went today and asked about this. I was told that I should get a few more units higher up on my forehead to pull eyelids up. I got 3 more injections higher up on my forehead but now my eyes are more swollen looking and feel so heavy. Should I find someone with more experience? Should I put cold compresses on my eyes or anything else I can do to help?
