Could Botox have caused this dent?

Rupertfriend
I had Botox for massater reduction that went horribly wrong about 6 months ago. My smile was lopsided and I couldn't move one side of my cheek area and smile until recently I've been getting a lot of moment back. It is maybe 80 percent moment back to normal but I developed a very noticed dent on my cheek. Once I started to get normal movement back the dent popped up and it looks horrible and really affecting my confidence . Is this temporary? Is it the Botox unevenly dissolving?
