Cannot smile properly 1 and half months after masseter Botox. Advise? (photos)

loveandhappiness2018
I had masseter Botox done about a month and a half ago. And although I really like the results, I cannot smile like I used to. My smile now does not turn upwards and is very contrived and restricted. I also had small amounts of fillers on the marionette area just below my lip corners, and along the nasolabial folds. Can you please advise if a DOA Botox injection will help or on the corner of the lips area? The last picture is when I did not get anything done for reference and comparison. Thank you.
