Can your smile be permanently affected after one session of botox? 3 months post, 20 units injected.

msefin05
I got 10 units of botox per eye for crows feet (20 total) 3 months ago. I hated it. has not worn off. My first time trying it and my laugh lines at the corners of my eyes have not returned. My muscles have overcompensated by creasing under the eye and giving me a more round eye shape. Is it possible for the way of smiling to change permanently after a single session of botox ? I am so depressed about this and it has affected also my emotional experiences. Is this permanent ??
