Bad Botox changed my face shape? (Photo)

Question

My face has gone from heart to oblong. The only change was a new Botox injector. I could tell he injected too superficially & my smile also changed (hard to smile wide). It’s been 6mths now. Is my face oblong because my jaw muscle has grown back or because of his bad injection? How do I get it back to heart? It still looks slim everywhere & im worried more Botox will make it look even more oblong

The effects of Botox are temporary and there is no reversal agent.  Typically the results will wear off gradually over three to four months, but for some it may be longer.  I encourage you to return to an expert injector if you are considering further treatment.

Botox results last up to 3 to 4 months and can be softened with Venus Legacy and Thermage treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

It is extremely unlikely that Botox injected 6 months ago has anything to do with your change in facial shape. The effects of Botox wears off after 3-4 months. Did you gain weight? Look for other causes.
