The doctor missed the target Massiter muscle but pumped 25 units of Botox in my face. I am horrified of what will develop?

I recently had Botox injections for Massiter reduction/teeth grinding. The doctor injected 25/25 units. When he injected the left side said "I'm sorry I missed" indicating that he missed the muscle. Yet he did not remove the needle to reposition a second stick he just continued the dispense 25 units on the right side. He didn'texplain how his "miss" would affect my face. I can feel a lump on the left side and the right side is flat. I went to Dr. Robert Peterson in Honolulu, HI
