I had Botox in my brow and crows feet 10 days ago and I am now unable to smile properly on one side. The Botox appears to have affected the top of my cheek muscle so it can’t pull my mouth up into a smile on that side any more. I think I had 5 units round each eye but I’m not certain. Is there anything I can do to help the muscle regain control quicker? I’m terrified of spending a full 3-4 months like this.
