C
cjx22Sep 19, 2016

I had dysport in the left side of my jaw as was larger and squarer than my right due to bad grinding habit, after 2 times it matched my right side & was even but could still feel grinding after 2 months, including my right, so had two more treatments in around 7 months, so 4x left, 2x right side, right side Was smaller to begin with - now suddenly my face looks WAY too slim & when I pull my head back looks like my chin goes into my neck!!! And have no jaw! Will this fade? My face looks weird :(
