Smile messed up after Dysport injection in masseters. Did my injectionist mess up, did I mess up by sleeping on side?

Two weeks ago, I had 40 units of Dysport injected into my masseter muscles for facial slimming. Now my smile is droopy on one side. It's not horrible (i.e. I don't look like I had a stroke), but when I compare pictures of myself before and after the procedure, I can definitely see a difference. I called the facility that did my procedure and asked them whether sleeping on my side could have caused this issue, and they told me "It's possible." I'm talking to my injectionist this Friday.
