Is it possible for masseter Botox to cause lasting harm to nerves or muscles?

Dear medical professionals, I seek your assistance. I received masseter Botox treatment, and nearly six months have passed, yet my smile has not fully returned to its previous state. Is it possible that the injection process may have caused damage to my muscles or nerves? What steps can I take at this point to address this issue?

I can happily announce that no effect related to Botox injection is permanent. Sometimes mimic muscles can be affected from masetter injections, but just like any other complications of toxin injection, this is completely reversible. There is nothing you can do at the moment, just wait and see. No worries.
