I recenetly got botox for my crows feet and a little filler right under the eye, every since the treatment I noticed my malar festoon lines are very noticeable even when I'm not smiling. Before the two treatments I could only see them (and much less then now) only when I was very tired. Could this have happened because of the filler, botox or both? How can this be fixed, its really bothering me, I think I look tired all the time now. Thank you for your answers.
