I had Botox on my crows feet for the first time 12 weeks ago and my cheeks have become very chipmunk and I had what looks like a shelf under eyes when I smile. From looking at pictures when I first had it done it doesn’t seem to have relaxed very much at all. I get married in just under 4 weeks and im beside myself that my face hasn’t started to go back to normal yet. Is there anything that can be done to raise my cheeks so my smile stops looking so chipmunk like. I feel like a caricature.
