Strange new lines and rough skin after Botox to DAO. Could this be caused by the Botox? Will they disappear?

Asked By:Unhappy lips in Australia, AU

I received 4 u to each DAO muscle 2 months ago. In the last few weeks, I've noticed new whisker lines appearing diagonally on either side of my chin & the skin surface feels & looks rougher. These lines look a bit like fine acne scars. Could this be from the botox in the DAO? Has it affected the muscle support structure underneath the skin & now caused these lines to appear on my skin? Will they disappear or am I stuck with them forever? I had nice smooth skin before but feel this is permanent.
