My zygomaticus muscles were injected with Botox instead of the masseter. 3 weeks post injections and my smile remains paralyzed and the masseter hypertrophic. 30 units were injected on each side. My questions are: Will 30 units into the zygomaticus dissipate in 3 months, or is it likely to take longer? Is 3 months of paralysis likely to cause nasolabial folds, increased buccal fat, jowls and cheekbone drop? If so, how long for my face to resume its normal shape? Thanks for your responses!
