Face Seems Bigger and Distorted After Botox for Square Jaw Reduction?

June 12, 2012
Asked By:Nivesh

Hi i had 40 units of botox for square jaw reduction 2 months back. For the first month, right side of my face swelled up and muscles were really tight making my face appear bigger and distorted. At the second month, its muscles are looser. However, i have observed the mandible or ramus just below the ear or right in front of my neck to have got much bigger and longer with an oval shaped thing attached which seems to be a lypmh node. Jaw appears wider and bigger as well. Any way to rectify this?
