Lopsided smile after Ultherapy. Is this permanent? What should I do? (Photo)

rocketontheroof
3 weeks ago I had what I thought was an Ultherapy treatment on my lower face. The procedure was insanely painful and I was swollen for nearly two weeks afterwards (couldn't lay my face on my pillow for nearly 10 days). Since the treatment I have not been able to move my lower left lip and now have a lopsided smile. The practitioner I saw was not a doctor AND i found out this week that he was using a counterfeit machine! His office has since closed. Is this permanent? What should I do?
