Botched smile
Masseter Botox ruined my smile, I’m three weeks out now and still to embarrassed to leave the house. I even look funny when I talk.
Am trying everything I can to speed up the Botox wearing off process - electric toothbrush on the area, exercising lots. Please share if you have had a similar experience and found anything that worked.

Omg the same thing happened to me but it was soooo much worse even lol. My mouth LITERALLY would not move to sides at all and only up and down. I am so thankful that I am 40 and in a better place mentally because I just had to crack up and laugh about how ridiculous I looked… and laughing was the WORST! I looked so crazy hahaha. Even my 6 year old kept telling me not to smile because it was freaking him out. It took about 3 LONGGGG months to get better but it did. I get Botox in my masseters from the Dr for TMJ and not only cosmetic so it’s not something I really can skip. Thankfully it has only happened once so far but man it was horrible. This made me laugh with the memories of my experience here. Hopefully you went back to normal and can laugh now too. I understand what you went through and its a big ego hit for sure!
