When Does Botox Cause Bags Under the Eyes?

MJ in SA
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.
