6 days after Botox to masseter, jaw feels heavy, mild tingling, pain radiates lower jaw, ear, lower lip. Is this normal?(photos)

Asked By:MD84122 in Florida, FL

Due to jaw asymetry from previous dental nerve damage, Dr. put much more botox in lft jaw than rght. Left jaw bruised but doesn't hurt. Rt jaw no bruise but feels heavy & puffy. Doesn't look puffy. Tingling & moderate pressure in right jaw running down cheek into lower lip & ear. Mild headache in rt temple. Smile flat & the right side droops a bit. Same day I had filler in cheeks which bruised each mid cheek. Are the feelings/sensations normal? Anything I can do to fix flat crooked smile?
