Botox every 3-4 months for 8 years. On 12/1/23 had 38 units between crows 11 and forehead. Went back 7 weeks later and had 30 more units. Now I have cheek drop on both sides. cheek bone area is so flat and chipmunk when I smile (cheek is by nasolabial fold and not lifting). Derm confirmed it affected zygomaticus. Since I did the "double dose" within 7 weeks is my timeline for it to fade still 3-4 months? It's been 6.5 weeks and is not any better. Please advise! I'm panicked!
