Masseter Botox made it so I cannot smile. Can I reverse this? Please help (Photo)

May 31, 2021
Asked By:ochiexx in Brooklyn, NY

Two years ago I had 40 units of botox injected into my masseter muscle with no problems but minimal results. I did it again 12 days ago and got 50 units total. I noticed last night I cannot smile. When attempting to do so, I look scary and fake, my cheeks hurt, and my undereye bags look deeper. Please tell me can do anything to reverse this. I am very embarrassed and my sisters wedding is next week and I am leaving on vacation the next day so I will be taking a lot of photos in upcoming days.
