Can one get Botox to soften an overactive muscle in the cheek?

Asked By:katt93 in Los Angeles, CA

I noticed in photos since I was a child that when I smile big, my right cheek crinkles like an accordion whereas my left cheek is normal with only the nasolabial fold creasing during a large smile. Can I get a micro dose of Botox in my right cheek so that it doesn’t accordion like that or would I risk my smile too much? If so, how many units would be safe?
