A few weeks ago I got 22 units of botox in my masseters. I am almost 41 and I already had prejowling and no chin. The dermatologist that said it would slim my face didnt tell me older women shouldnt get this. She also put 0.7 units voluma in my cheeks. My face now looks gaunt and small with sagging jowls. I dont recognize myself and look older. How can i get the botox to go away faster and what can I do to lift my face? I've heard some people's jawline never comes back. Is it true?
