Face Semi-paralyzed After Botox to Masseter Muscles? (photo)
TammyAJul 9, 2012
I had 30 units of botox injected in the masseter muscles on the right side of my face; I leave the left side alone because the muscles aren't as active. I had had 25 units put in about 4 months ago, so this was not new. However, now the right side of my face is semi-paralyzed. My smile looks terrible because the corner of my mouth does not lift. I know there is no antidote to botox, but is there anything I can do to speed up the metabolization, help my smile, or strengthen the muscles? Thank you
