Botox on crows feet affecting smile? (Photo)

Asked By:yesenias1990 in Boca Raton, FL

I had botox on crows feet, forehead, inbetween eyes 11 days ago. Now i cant smile all the way (like the smile is straight instead of curving up) and I absolutely hate it because it makes my smile look god awful. The plastic surgeon insists this has nothing to do with botox and it's because i had parotitis one day after botox injections and it must be because of the parotitis which is long gone. All i know is i cannot smile :( As a model, this concerns me a lot!
