How can I fix Botox injections in the masseter muscle that have gone wrong? (Photo)

steffnee
5 days ago I got injections in the masseter muscle to slim down the face, and it kicked in today and it looks bad already, I can't smile, laugh, because my upper lip is paralaized and its dropped, and I have unwanted wrinkles, I know Botox won't wear out but how Cani fix this problem, I called my original doctor and he said to wait 2 weeks n il go and see him but I just want as much information as possible. Is this normal? when will my smile start to look normal again?
