Can you get permanent asymmetry/muscle atrophy from Dysport?

isabellachau
I had botched dysport about 6 months ago. A Cosmetic nurse put 5 units of dysport in the left side of my chin to help a pull of the left side of my mouth (to correct asymmetry) but it froze that half of my chin. I went back for her to correct it and she put 5 units in the other side. The whole right lower half of my face stopped moving, I couldn’t move my bottom lip on that side. 6 months later I still have asymmetry and my face hasn’t returned to normal. Not sure what to do about it.
