Asked By:lmcbeth in Vancouver, BC

I had Botox injected for wrinkles in entire forehead about a month ago as my worry wrinkle lines were becoming very profuse. In the last week or so I am having a lot of achin in my jaw/lower face area, morning and night. It's a very heavy uncomfortable feeling. Is it possible with my forehead muscles treated that other muscles are compensating? Thank you.
