New Wrinkles After Botox - Are They Permanent?

sporty3686
I'm only 22 and I had Botox a little over a week ago to treat/prevent crow's feet. They are pretty much gone now but my lower eyelid and under my eye area has gotten more wrinkled! I read it may be that these muscles are over compensating for the paralyzed ones. If that's the case, will they smoothen out after the Botox has worn off, or will the muscle actually grow and remain this way? Please help!
