Unwanted adjacent muscle effects from Botox
It appears that your forehead muscle is unopposed over the mid eyebrow and it peaks as the muscle elevates it. This can be corrected with one or two units of Botox in the overactive muscle. If the chin muscle was injected too close to the depressor lower lip muscle then you can get an unbalance. This will have to resolve on its own over many weeks. Only in extreme situations would the other side be treated to make the loss of muscular function symmetric or balanced.

Botox and raised eyebrows
It is not uncommon for the eyebrows to be too raised after Botox injections for the frown lines. When one set of muscles is relaxed, another set of muscles can take over. Too much Botox, incorrect placement or too deep injections can all cause an undesired effect. It is simple to correct by injecting a tiny amount of Botox above the arch of the eyebrows. Your doctor will know to add these areas next time.

Bad Botox?
The arched brows are an all too common Botox effect that is easily treated by placing a small amount of Botox above the arch to drop it. Your injector should note that on your chart in order to avoid it next time. Many physicians have patients come back in at 2 weeks to check for this kind of thing.
The lower right lip is not working because the Botox was injected into or migrated into one of the depressor muscles of the lip. Unfortunately, there is not a remedy for this...

Bad Botox? For Eyelift and Chin Relaxing.
The best news is this effect will subside over the next 3 months. Was your injector a physician? Seems to have over dosed some areas or poor injection placement.

Botox issues
Sometimes when Botox is injected it can impact other muscles when the injection is not done in the right place. The good thing is that the Botox will wear off in a few months.

Time to find a new injector with better judgement.
People, please no perioral BOTOX! This was useful before we had long lasting fillers. Now there is really no reason to have perioral BOTOX. Do an online search of my microdroplet BOTOX methods which is an alternative method of injecting BOTOX that preserves forehead movement yet created an natural lift along the eyebrows.

Cruella Correction
Some of your problem can be corrected quite easily. The Cruella look was created by an excessive amount of Botox in the central region of the forehead, or not enough Botox on the lateral portion. A few units of Botox placed at each peak of your arched brow will drop the eyebrows and return your face to a more natural appearance.
The little folds in your eyelid skin are due to either the Botox being placed too low in the forehead or an excessive amount of Botox. This is harder to correct....
