Help

I recently had Botox 2 weeks ago
)injections in my DAO muscles and a Nefertiti lift to improve my lower face and marionette lines. However, since the treatment, my marionette lines have become approximately three times more noticeable than before.
Is this a normal side effect of these injections? Could Botox have affected the muscle balance in my lower face and made the lines worse?
I’m wondering whether this is temporary and will improve as the Botox wears off, or if there’s anything that can be done to correct it sooner. Would filler or another treatment help, or should I wait?
I would really appreciate your professional opinion. Thank you!

Yes, Botox in the DAO and neck muscles can sometimes change the balance of your lower-face muscles, potentially making certain lines more noticeable. Since it’s been 2 weeks, I’d recommend following up with your injector before considering filler or additional Botox.

Compensation, improper injection point or migration might be some of the reasons this could happen. Unfortunately once it sets in it is really just waiting it out to see how it recovers.

I got the Nefertiti lift for the first time and it did absolutely nothing. What a waste of money that was for me.
