Trouble smiling after botox and huge upper cheeks when I smile (I look like a cartoon) (Photo)

septembergirl2016
the last two times (different board certified providers) botox caused me trouble smiling and huge upper cheeks when i smile . i look normal at rest. (i wanted a brow lift, but he injected 10 units on each side. I did not get this with my former provider where i used to live. Now it is the second time in a row. You can still see the injection mark in the picture. Was it too low or does it have something to do w my anatomy? I did not do fillers in my cheeks.
