Thank you for asking. I'm sorry you're having to experience this too. My smile is back. It lasted about 4 months, I'm sad to say. It seems that the Botox migrated down into some facial muscles that control my smile. So I tried doing Botox again, but this time applying it only on the upper eye muscles. It's worked out fine. I imagine in your case it will last a few months. Gradually you'll see your smile came back. Every face is different. You doctor needs to adjust his or her treatment to work with your individual face. That's what my doctor has done. He cut the dose to a quarter of the amount he uses on most people. And he now avoids the lower eye muscles. It's working perfectly now. I have empathy for you. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. I hope it clears up soon. bg
It's a little better, in that, my smile is not as crooked. However, my smile and face is NOT back to normal. Thanks for asking.
