Asked By:Wildflower07 in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada

Help! About a month ago I had Botox in my masseters, DAOs, platysmas, & forehead/brows. Ever since I have deep/visible “smoker’s” lines that were barely there before (I don’t smoke or use straws). It’s worse when I talk or eat & feels funny. What could have caused this and can it be fixed? Thank you! PS: It’s hard to see in the after photo & the reason I’m all red is because I had microneedling yesterday. I also have .5 of a syringe of lip filler. 52 yr old, caucasian, healthy, female.
