I am now worried the damage of the 2.5 units of botox snd 5 units along the jaw have permanently disfigured my face. My smile is still crooked and now my chin is pointy and pulls to one side. I am now past the 4 month mark and very frightened serious damage has bern done to my face vis this injector. Has anyone had a patient in which this did not resolve. The smile has slightly improved but the chin has not. I just want my fave back
