A doctor overinjected my masseter muscles with botox (he almost might have gone too low on my crows feet, I'm not sure which) and now I can't really smile on one side of my face; instead of curving upwards, my lip moves straight out horizontally and my cheeks don't lift. He suggested coming back into he office for some sort of machine (it might be a laser) that should stimulate the muscle and thus help break down the botox more rapidly. Is this a legitimate strategy?
