In July, I had 10 units Botox into each side of the back of my mouth to relieve symptoms of tmj I was having due to Invisalign. I'm not sure what the name of the muscle is. The person doing it is an MD. She said it would not affect my appearance. Since then though, my face has changed considerably, with people commenting on how thin and hollow it looks. My cheekbones also seen more pronounced. Could this be because of the Botox? Will it go back to normal or could this be a permanent change?
