Uneven smile after Botox in the masseters. (Photos)

Asked By:SallyRS in New York, NY

I got 30 units (each) in my masseters about 6 weeks ago to slim my jaw, with TMJ as a bonus. My face appears to have slimmed marginally but my smile is now uneven (see pics). I assume this means the Botox spread into the surrounding muscles. Two questions: 1) how long will it take my smile to return to normal? 2) I do like the face slimming and teeth grinding benefits, but not at the cost of my smile. Should I not pursue this procedure again, or do I just need a different doctor?
