Cheek dropped after Botox to crows feet - is this a permanent side effect? (photos)

Asked By:gabpnw in Lynnwood, Washington

I had botox about a month and a half ago. Immediately I noticed huge bags under both eyes and I had a bad twitch on my right eye when i smiled. The twitch would sometimes go to the left side but mostly stayed on the right eye. I also noticed my cheeks weren't lifting like normal when i smiled and my right cheek is noticeably more droopy than the left. Is this a permanent side effect or will I eventually go back to normal?
