Masseter Botox and now my cheeks have sunken and I'm only 27!

shirleylo87
I had 12 units (each side) of botox on my masseter on Feb and 1 more on june. Now is august. my jaw has dramatically thinned but now I've sunken cheeks and slightly droopy despite my age. I even gained a few lbs since the procedure. Is it possible that the doc injected at the wrong place? My sister had the same procedure w diff doc and hers were done just slighly under the jawline. mine while still on my jawline, they were slighly above where hers were done. Hers look great! Any suggestions why?
