Is there a treatment that can be done to stimulate muscles or atrophied muscle that needs help to rebuild?

Anna B.
14 months ago I had Botox around the eyes and forehead. The injector was inexperienced (caused both cheek drop/brow drop, disfiguring face shape) My cheeks are still not in the high position they once were, and mid-cheek looks wider. There is obviously persistent atrophy or my brain does not remember how to use those higher cheek/orbital muscles. Is there an exercise or treatment that can be done to stimulate muscles that the brain has forgotten to use or atrophied muscle that needs help to rebuild?
