Botox Crows Feet - Bags under Eyes - Help!

So I've been getting botox in 11s and forehead for a few years. Top aeshetics clinic in my area so nothing to do with practitioner. All good very subtle loved it. Decided to get crows feet done just before Christmas and I am so upset. I now have puffy under eyes and malar bags. I know its because the lymphatic drainage has been compromised. I'm 5 weeks in and no reduction. Can anyone give me hope who has had this that it WILL go away and how long you had to wait. Shame too as actual line reduction in crows feet is great. But NEVER again!

Utterly raging at myself!

@LancashireSquirrel yip seen that. Unfortunately made me feel worse 😔. I just need to try and not catastrophise as I am upset and googling has set me off. Hopefully someone has had this side affect and can share positive recovery 🙏

So what was it do you think? Poor placement or too much in the crows feet area? I had too much there once and it made my eye, etc on that side, droop temporarily. I had more injections to help, but only time worked.

The person in the link had botox injected under their eyes which I wouldn't do because I think it carries too much risk.

Time will get rid, but you could try helping things along by using an ice roller, or jade roller for lymphatic drainage (lots of tutorials on YouTube). I know of people who have managed to improve significantly that way.

I would contact the clinic too if you haven't already.

I have been back 3 times to clinic. Only time will help apparently. I didn’t ask for under eyes - just crows feet. But I do recall a slight injection marks slightly under eye at outer corners (I think). I haven’t actually asked outright if they injected ‘under eyes’ tbh. I will do though not that it will make any difference? I’m left waiting. And upset. Angry at myself.😞
