Asked By:kbalfour in Edmonton, AB

Is it normal for your smile to feel tight after Xeomin for crows feet? More specifically is it normal for it to feel a bit tighter on one side then the other side? I am on day 6 post and my smile still looks perfectly normal however the left side is feeling tighter when I try to smile then the right side. I am scared I will wake up to a droopy face and giving myself anxiety over it.
