Masseter botox and cheek filler distorted my face (Photo)

May 10, 2023
Asked By:Practical432323 in Boston, Massachusetts

Hello, I let a dermatologist inject 22 units of botox on each side of my masseters and put a little over half a syringe of valuma in my cheeks. Now a month later my face looks older and older and laxity is worse because I'm 40. I'm attaching a before and after pic. I had it done on the 20th of last month. Is my jawline going to keep getting smaller? My cheeks are hollowing, I'm getting a double chin and jowls are worse. I just needed lift not volume. When will jaw fill back in?
