One side of my cheek feels tighter than the other. Is this normal?

kbalfour
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.
