(30 total). every dynamic line is gone wbut when i smile my cheeks puff up (not symmetrically) and slightly pop out on the outer corner too. i look like a busted rabbit. does this chipmunk effect look like a botox side effect ? i have high cheekbones and full cheeks to begin with but now they look swollen . any solutions?
