Yes the lip can become weak after usage of a neurotoxin such as Dysport or Botox to the bridge of the nose for bunny line reduction. The reason is a muscle called the Levator labii superioris alaeque nasi which starts on the nose and extends down to the lip. If the neurotoxin migrates to this muscle on the nose, it will cause the lip on that side to weaken and droop.
Here is the good news, it will go away, but may take up to 3-4 months. If it is very noticeable, your physician can try to place a small amount of Dysport or Botox into the muscle on the other side to make it symmetrical and less obvious on smiling. I would recommend you you go back and see your physician to evaluate you first and foremost. Hope this was helpful.
Best regards. Dr D.
