Cheek Frozen After Botox to the Eyes

7481anon
My cheek does not work when I smile, what is the cause and how long will it last? It was the first time I received Botox for crows feet, I have been doing it on my forehead for over 2 years with no negative effects. This appeared 10 days later and I thought it was bals palsy, but no other area was affected. It has been three weeks now and I still am unable to move one side of my face, besides being embarrassed and frustrated, I am concerned that it will not go away.
