one month ago, 6. units each crows feet, 10 glabellar,8 forehead. (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?
Answer: I am sorry this has happened to you. Thank you for your question. I am sorry this has happened to you. This happened because the Botox was injected to low around your eyes and has migrated to your cheeks. Unfortunately, this is nothing you can do until the Botox wears off in 3-4 months. I would inform you injector of this so they make adjustments next time you receive treatment. Best of Luck!

Answer: Botox Too Low I regret that you experienced this complication, but it will certainly resolve on its own. The problem occurred due to the effect of Botox on smile muscles attached to the cheek bone, and can usually be avoided by keeping the product injections away from these muscles. Discuss this with your injector, who should offer solutions to avoid this problem in the future. Best, Gregg Kennedy, MD
