ORIGINAL POST

Stay Away from Injector Katie!

I had Botox In my crows feet and 11s by Katie and it has completely ruined my face. My cheeks have completely lost volume and dropped along with the fat pads under my eyes. Now I have hollow under eyes with protruding bags. My skin is no longer youthful, I can grab it and stretch it. Its been a nightmare. When I tried to address this with her she denied all accountability. She acted like she didn't even know that this could happen. If that's true & she really didn't know, then that is terrifying! Google fat drop after bad Botox. I have talked to multiple plastic surgeons who were horrified by my before and after pictures and told me to never go back to her again! I can hold my face up to where it used to be. I'm only 29, this was my second time getting it done. Any Botox around the eyes needs to preformed by a very skilled injector which she is not. I warn anyone I can against her. I don't wish this on anyone. Stay away!

How are you doing since the Botox has worn off? Did everything go back to normal? I’m currently in the same predicament with flattened, sagging upper cheeks and under eye area :(

Mine is gradually starting to get better little by little. The skin is still a bit dry and crepey, but the muscle seems to be firming and starting to lift now. I am a little over 2 months post injection, so there is hope.

Hi jheart, what exactly happened to you? Where were you injected?
I had botox on my crow's feet (it was my 5th-6th time) and 6 days later all the fun began. Eye bags, deepening of tear trough (like hollows) and festoons.Funny bc most people don't seem to notice it unless I tell them, but I'm going crazy. It's been 2 months and I decided to wait 1 year before getting surgery to fix this mess... I hope my body can recover itself...

I also had Botox injected into my crow’s feet, which I don’t normally do. I thought I was being preventative lol…
When it kicked in fully after about 2 weeks, my under eyes were completely frozen and began to sag as the orbicularis muscle became more relaxed and unable to lift to its normal position. The skin under my eyes looked darker, thinner, and much dryer. I don’t normally have issues with dark circles or hollowing, but the Botox caused this to manifest. The crepey-ness was unsightly to me. Like you, other people didn’t really take notice. I even started to notice my cheeks feeling depressed and I couldn’t smile normally. There were dents in my upper cheek area with the strained muscle movement.
I’m gaining muscle movement back now and I can tell my eyes are starting to look more lifted again. The skin is still less hydrated looking and slightly crepey. I’m trying to stay hopeful this will resolve too. I’m just at the 3 month mark since the injections. If it doesn’t get back to where I feel is acceptable, I’ll get a small amount of filler to plump and hydrate.
