I got 2-3 units of Botox in my left under eye area to correct the asymmetry in my eyes when smiling. It's been 7 days and now I have a massive bag under that eye whenever I smile, but only on that side! Can I do anything about this?
Answer: Botox in orbicularis Oculi: bags!! What can I do? You could have some swelling there but most likely Botox was placed too close to the middle of the eye and weakened the muscle that retains that fat. This is absolutely temporary and will resolve in 3-4 weeks but occasionally can last up to three months. In the meantime, there isn't any way to remedy this until the Botox wears off. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

CONTACT NOW Answer: Botox and Results Botox will resolve in 2-4 months. I suggest you see an expert for future treatments. When the muscle stops working in the area you can get swelling built up called lymphedema. fingertip massages and venus legacy will help improve this area until the botox wears off. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Injection of under eye with Botox Thank you for sharing your problem. Injecting the area of the lower eyelids is particularly risky. Poor blink, dry eyes and puffiness are known complications. Careful patient selection is essential to avoid problems. Unfortunately, you cannot do anything to reverse he results, but you will return to normal in a few months. See an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon for treatments in this sensitive area. Good luck,

Answer: Botox Under Eyes and Bags Botox injected directly under the eyes can cause bags and I would advice against it in the future. Belotero or Restylane is a much better solution. Best, Dr. Green
