Botox gave me crazy deep cheek dimples when I smile. Can this be fixed?

Botox gave me crazy deep cheek dimples when I smile. Can this be fixed?

I really need some advice from an experienced injector, dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or anyone who has dealt with something similar.
I recently got a little Botox in my upper cheek/eye area and around my eyebrows. I already had a tiny upper cheek “whisker dimple” on my left side, but after Botox I suddenly developed one on my right side too.
Now whenever I smile, even slightly, BOTH of them become insanely deep. I can actually feel the muscles around that area pulling/straining when I smile, which makes me wonder if the Botox changed the muscle balance around my eyes and cheeks and now something else is overcompensating.

My main question: is this actually fixable? Could Botox in a different muscle soften these dimples, or could that mess with my smile even more? Is there another treatment that makes more sense?
I really want to get rid of them, but I absolutely do not want to start randomly adding Botox and make the situation worse.
Would really appreciate professional opinions or experiences from anyone who has had this happen.

Has anyone received a strange or possibly spoiled perfume from Flaconi.de?

About two months ago, I ordered YSL Libre Le Parfum from Flaconi.de, a well-known German beauty retailer.
Before ordering it, I had tested Libre Le Parfum on my skin several times at an authorized store, so I was familiar with how it smelled. I didn’t open the bottle immediately because I was saving it for autumn and winter. When I finally opened it about two weeks ago, the fragrance smelled completely different from the one I knew.
It has an overpowering, sweet, chemical smell, almost as if it has gone bad. At first, I thought my nose might be congested or that something was affecting my sense of smell, but I tested it several times with the same result. I also asked several other people to smell it, and they all found it strange and unpleasant. Some even said it didn’t smell like a YSL perfume at all.
This isn’t simply a case of me no longer liking the fragrance. It genuinely smells nothing like the Libre Le Parfum I repeatedly tested before buying it.
Has anyone had a similar experience with perfume or other products ordered from Flaconi.de? Could this be a spoiled or improperly stored bottle, a reformulation, or something else? Is it worth contacting their customer support even though I ordered it around two months ago and opened it only recently?
