I got 20 units of Dysport injections into each masseter muscle 2 weeks ago for a jaw reduction. It has affected my smile. I don't show as much gum when I smile and I feel like it isn't as wide. The main problem is that the nasolabial fold on my right side seems much deeper. I have aged 10 years. Also, I have lost the apples of my cheeks.
