Botox off-label for perioral lip lines

I can not address your specific case as I can't examine you nor do I have the pertinent details. The numbers of total units of Botox do not describe how many units you have had per treatment and how many units per site of injection and the exact location of the injections. Normally Botox wears off in three to four months maximum. see video

Botox and temporary muscle paralysis

Botox injections may cause a temporary muscle paralysis. That is the intention to achieve the desired cosmetic result. Your concerns regarding muscle damage are unlikely as I have not heard of this but I suggest you discuss with your surgeon and have appropriate evaluation.
