I only had botox three days ago, so I have yet to see any changes. However, one side-effect is worrying me: I have read that botox can cause under-eye bags when used to treat crow's feet. Why does this happen, and what injection sites are likely to cause this. I was treated around my eyes near my cheekbone, and on my nose for bunny lines.

Answer: Botox Does Not Cause Bags
Botox will not cause bags under one's eyes. Most likely the bags were there before the injections and are now being made more prominent with the weakening of the muscles around the area. Sometimes more toxin is required to lessen the affect – and skilled injectors can usually handle this situation without much difficulty.

Answer: Undereye sagging from Botox
If you have loose skin on the lower lids, Botox injections for crow's feet can make the skin under the eyes look baggy. This is usually a problem in older people who could benefit from a lower lid lift, or blepharoplasty. If you do get this side effect from Botox, it is temporary and will resolve as the effect of the Botox wears off. Regarding not seeing an effect after 3 days, It can take up to a week for botulinum toxin to take full effect.
