Last April I had medial voluma cheek filler for the first time and now its fallen down around my mouth and looks doughy like a chipmunk when I smile. I feel like it hangs over the corners of my mouth now. It's also making my eyes smaller especially in the morning. I had masseter botox at the same time and it made my face narrow and gave me jowls. I went for neck botox this past november to help the jowling but she hit my masseters again. Is there any hope for my face at 41 yrs old?
