2 weeks ago I had botox in my massteter muscles (25u/side). After 6 days I noticed my smile had completely shrunk & disappeared. My smile is now extremely small & I no longer have definition in my cheekbones. Are there any other side effects I should be concerned about further experiencing? At 2 weeks I also notice that my right cheek is more full/puffy & therefore looks fatter than my left. When am I likely to see my natural face again & will it back to its original definition?

Thank you for your question. The natural antibiotics you are talking about will not have any effect on your Botox result. However, I recommend avoid taking fish oil supplements for a minimum of one week before your Botox injections. This is to help reduce the risk of bruising. Best of Luck!
It appears only your forehead was injected and not your glabella (11’s). These two areas work together and when only one is injected it can result in the glabella lines (11’s). I recommend consulting with an expert and having additional Botox injected into the glabellar area. Best of Luck!
