Flattened Lips After Botox

April 6, 2009
Asked By:firsttimeuser in Temecula, CA

Plastic surgeon in Temecula zapped a vertical wrinkle below my lower lip with Botox. Now 4 days later, the wrinkle is almost gone and so are my looks as that portion of my lip seems to have flattened out (I have naturally thick lips). Now my mouth looks asymmetric. Help!!! Please advise on what would be the best course to fix this. Maybe injecting filler as I could not bear to take chances with the other side of my lower lip?
