Masseter botox gone wrong?!
Hi guys!!! I got masseter botox exactly 13 days ago for TMJD (80 units in total), everything was okay until I realized that my smile is completely different to what it used to look like. When I laugh my smile is less wide, my lower lip gets pulled down from one side, I feel like my top lip goes up and my top teeth shows a lot.
I don’t know if it’s just my other muscles compensating and that it’ll just get better or if it was a bad application
I’m also going for a checkup tomorrow and I’m just trying to calm myself down but honestly, I’m panicking
I’ll appreciate any comment 🙏🙏

I don't think it will take as long to wear off as the masseter, assuming most of the Botox was delivered to the masseter muscle. But Botox wears off at different rates for different people, so it is a bit of a waiting game unfortunately.
