Facial numbness after masseter Botox, s there a risk for facial paralysis?

March 27, 2014

I received Botox treatment to both sides of my masseter muscle because of TMJ. I was experienced hypertrophic muscles, very strong tension in my jaw/neck/shoulders. I was very fatigued yesterday 6 hours post-injection. t's been less than 24 hours and now I feel a numbing/tingling in my lip area. I know this is not normal.  What is going on?
