50 units of Botox into my right masseter muscle and now I look like I've had a stroke. Is this normal? Will it go away? (Photo)

I had 50 units of Botox injected into my right masseter muscle about 2 weeks ago. Since then I've definitely noticed that the muscle is weaker, but way too much. My face seems swollen still and when I smile it looks as though I've had a stroke. I'm also experiencing a warm tingling feeling from my ear to my mouth. At this point I'm wishing I never had it done. Will it go away? How long will it take?
