Asked By:peony1234 in Singapore, SG

I had under eye fillers and botox done early in May. Two weeks later, the doctor injected my cheekbones with juvederm and voluma. He also injected a bit of botox into my cheek area near the nose, now when I smile the whole cheek area will freeze and I look like a chipmunk. The doctor said its because of the botox and has been giving me Titan face treatments to soften the fillers and increase heat in my face to try to get the botox to go off faster. What can I do to regain my normal smile?
