Horribly Crooked Smile from Botox Nefertiti Lift

I have this relatively new procedure called Botox Nefertiti Lift performed 12 days ago by a cosmetic physician, and it has lead to a crooked smile. A total of 20 Botox units were used along the jawlines. I have been unable to get a straight answer from the doctor. From looking at pictures, I think that the toxin has diffused into the Depressor Labii leading to the other side becoming hyperkinetic. I went back for a review and the doctor stated that she had hit a muscle on what seems to me to be the unaffected (hyperkinetic) side and the remedy was to inject an opposing muscle on the jawline on the affected side. That was three days ago, if anything, the problem has intensified. I have read an article about the problem and the issue not being resolved by injecting the depressor Labii on the unaffected side. I am frightened and worried. How long will I have this crooked smile? What are my options for getting it fixed?
