I had Botox of the masstier muscle 5 days ago 26 units in each side by a board Certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. My right side has 0 pain. My left side however hurt really bad in one of the injections and after for the first three days it was throbbing deep into that muscle to my ear and down that side of the neck. Now it hurts on and off especially when i sleep on that side? Could the plastic surgeon hit a nerve is this going to be permanent? Any thoughts? Thank you!
