Hi, i had botox injections on both side, on May 2017. (100 units in total, 50-50). I loved the result, but my right side is larger than the other. When i told my doctor, he said it was my bone fault, and the problem didn't concern the muscle. Since my first treatment i didnt have any touch up, and my doctor told me to wait for 6 months.
