What can I do about permanent asymmetry in chin caused by Dysport?

Asked By:isabellachau in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
I had botched dysport injections in my chin in February 2022. I initially wanted the injection to help with a pull on my mouth, but it caused my chin to be asymmetrical. I went back to the injector to get it evened out so she put more dysport (5units) in the other side of my chin. I’m not sure if she injected more than that or if she just injected it in the wrong spot but it paralysed that whole bottom quarter of my face. I haven’t had any injections since and my face still isn’t as it use to be
