What can I do to restore my face after masseter Botox (Dysport) treatment gone wrong? (Photo)

Question

I had dysport in masseters on 31/05, 60units each side. Explained to Dr that I didn’t want to change my face shape but correct the bulge that had formed. I was also grinding my teeth causing headaches. However, he did not listen. Afterwards, my face became paralysed to the point where I could not smile. Then my face became gaunt&started to droop. I’ve had 2ml dermal filler in cheeks to help and smile has started to come back but I am wondering what to do to fix my jawline/sagging cheeks&jowls.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I don't see any of the things you are talking about, just bad photography. I think it would not be in your best interests to do anything at this point as, like a bad haircut it will all go away. If the botox was injected too superficially and superiorly the smile muscles might be weakened, which probably explains the other complaints you have which are best seen in animation. This too will come back. Be patient.
