Doctor Injected Botox in Zygomaticus Major/minor -Seattle, WA

I had one session ob botox for bells palsy around my eye and forehead area. The second time the neurologist said that she has a little left and can inject it on my Zygomaticus major to see if it releases the very slight pull that I had in my lips. After a week my face was completely paralyzed and it is six weeks not but still cannot lift my upper lip. I called the Dr office and they said that it will start getting better in 3 weeks. I do not see any change. I have been reading a lot here and am very worried that because of my history of bells palsy would this by any means cause permanent damage.

Great review?

I'm sorry to hear what is going on. :( I saw the question you posted in the Q&A section, and it looks like you have gotten some good answers back from the doctors already, so I hope they have been helpful.

Here is another Q&A posted by Gerliv, who had a somewhat similar experience. Perhaps you will find some of the information in this Q&A helpful too:
