Posted under Xeomin q&a

Xeomin injected into the buccinator. It has completely atrophied and my cheeks are sunken and have fallen. Will I ever recover?

Hi there. I need help. 5 month received 40 units of Xeomin with minimal dilution to make it last more time. At first the doctor was to inject the toxin into the masseter but largely failed and was injected into the buccinator and zygomatic. Still I can not feel the buccinator and is completely atrophied and my cheeks are sunken and have fallen. Ever recover? how much longer can take the hernia? should take creatine, anabolic to regain muscle mass? thank you
