I was injected with 4 units of Botox. Two injections on each side of my philtrum columns. This was given to help raise my upper lip. I am 53. I am now concerned with eating and shaping words. I cannot hold a spoon or fork between my lips in order to get the food in my mouth properly. I think this is causing me to swallow too much food and it's making me worried. I was injected two days ago. Any advice?
