Botox + Crooked Q&A

I was just curious as to why I can activate the muscles above my lip on the lefts ide but not the right. I noticed when I smile, my upper left lip raises but not the right.

Hi, I got masseter Botox of 25 units each side from an MD who also does plastic surgery, to slim my face. 1 week later, I got lip filler of .75 a syringe from a different injector. I started noticing my smile being crooked and my smile lines, as seen in the after photo. My smile lines were even before and I can only move one side to stretch my smile up. The other muscle cant move my mouth or smile line that far. Was this from the masseter Botox or lip filler?

Hi, 3 months ago I had my second Botox treatment for bruxism. 4 weeks after I went back to evaluate, and the doctor added some more. The same night I noticed the left corner of my mouth was frozen, and since then I have not been able to curve the corner of my mouth when I smile. My doctor said the Botox probably migrated to the risorius muscle, but that it is weird that I saw an effect on my smile the same day. Does this mean something else is causing the crooked smile, such as a damaged nerv?

My mouth tend to pull towards the right side of my face more and it is very obvious with the slanted deep philtrum. I would like to know if there is any botox/filler that can be use to fix this issue. Thank you! :(

I had botox in my chin 2 years ago. I felt a sharp pain at the point I of injection near my left mandible nerve. About 4-5 months after injection I noticed it impacted my bottom lip. The left side of my lip appears to poke out when I talk and smile. When I smile without talking, the left side does not pull down as far as the right but prior to the botox injection it did. My smile is now crooked. I am assuming my nerve was damaged. Is there anything that can be done to correct the problem?

I'm an essential tremor patient in my 40s, and as medication (propranolol, rivotril, xanax) are only giving limited relief for the shaking (specifically in my smiling muscles) - the neurologist r we t their botox department for just 4 units Botox in my minor and major smiling muscles in total. We're now months later and the negative side-effects are still there: a skewed smile on one side of my face. Does Botox have a typical timeline, what's my perspective here?

Hi, I am 26F. I am hoping to achieve a more feminine/symmetrical look. My eye area specifically and nose crookedness bothers me. Could Botox help me?

I had 4 units of Botox to my depressor angularus for marionette lines and at same time the doctor was doing facial mesotherapy treatments and 3 days later my smile was crooked and I can barely laugh It only shows when smiling and its been 7 months now and I notice its still crooked when smiling. I have not had anymore mesotherapy or botox injections since but still cant smile normally. Could it be nerve damage from a needle? Botox usually wears off within 4-5 months

My plastic surgeon inadvertently injected my depressor labi six months ago and I still have problems with food trapping and a crooked smile.

I went to an experienced injector with a great reputation, she did make a comment that my chin muscles were really strong. I do not know how much she injected into my chin but I paid 800 for my full face. Its been one week and it is hard to speak without slurring and half of my bottom lip is crooked. The corners of my mouth still move symmetrically, and at rest I look ok. Its just when I am talking or smiling that it is very noticeable. Please advise.
