Muscle still not working 6 months on (Photo)

JMAUS
I had Dysport injected into my masseter muscles 6 months ago to help eliminate clenching/grinding of teeth. It went wrong and was injected in wrong spot on one side of my face, resulting in a crooked smile and my cheek muscle (the apple of my cheek) not activating. Now 6 months on, it has worn off only slightly, still looks crooked and that muscle (the apple of my cheek) still does not work when I smile or look plump. Do I need to re-stimulate this muscle somehow or just keep waiting?
