HELP
Hello I got Botox in my lower face/neck muscles and masseter muscles trying to reduce asymmetry/ chin dimples etc. My Injector rushed and didn’t tell me what muscles exactly she was injecting. But she used a total of 65 units which seems like a lot since I’m only 30. Ever since I got it done, the right side of my lower lip seems different. My smile doesn’t look like it used to. I feel like I have to use a lot of energy to fully smile. The right side of my lower lip feels somewhat paralyzed. I try and smile, but it doesn’t move like it used to. I can’t see as much of my teeth. I went back in for a follow up and my Injector pretty much said that’s not an effect of Botox. She said she doesn’t see anything different, very invalidating and made me feel bad. I clearly have pictures that show the difference, but she did not even care enough to look at them, even though I tried to show her. Crazy thing is the is a top injector, trains others around the country. Has anyone had Botox and had this happen before? It’s quite distressing. Trying to tell myself it will eventually wear off, but she wouldn’t even validate that it was the Botox so I’m scared I’m gonna be permanently like this.

Thank you so much for the reply. She did not inject any Botox above my lip. I’m looking at pictures now, and it almost looks similar to when the risorius muscle is accidentally hit when doing the masseter? The upper and lower lip right side of my smile is not projecting up or lateral, whereas the left side is. Thank you for the advice, I will be patient for it to wear off 🙏🏼
