I had Botox for crows feet injection and a session of KTP laser done yesterday to reduce redness from rosacea. I woke up swollen under my eyes and cheeks specifically my cheek bones. I read that if injected with too much Botox It can cause induced pseudo-herniation of the infra-orbital fat pads. The obicularis muscles become weakened and fat pads bulge out. Is this what happened to me? If it's from Botox does the cheek swelling happen so fast? I just had it done last night. Pls help?
