For how long has Masseter Botox ruined my smile? 4 weeks, 4 months or forever? What went wrong? (Photos)

mrc3121
I saw a Dr for grinding & clenching my teeth causing jaw pain.He injected dysport equivalent of 30 units Botox/side (small circle in centre of masseter).2 weeks later my smile is awful & embarrassing! I went back & he said there was no way the dysport had spread, it wasn't his fault & it should be fine in 1-4 weeks.I think he is wrong.With a straight face I also see sagging in the centre of my face.He said the masseter effect will last a year- will this freaky smile & volume loss last that long?
