Is this possible zygomaticus/lip elevator Botox migration? (Photos)

September 16, 2018
Asked By:Anon49313 in Kirkland, WA

I was injected under brows (5 units mid brow each side) and 3 units under each brow tail to lift (16 units total). Now my smile stops short and weird and cheeks are also restricted and bunching - not a natural wide smile . I seem to also have sagging skin at jaw and under cheeks now and a feeling of unsupported muscle around mouth. I hate it! What happened? Heavy feeling in cheeks. How long can this dosing take to wear off??
