Answer: Botox crooked smile There are many physicians and nurses in our community who inject Botox or Dysport. Periodically a patient comes to see me with a concern of an asymmetry or a crooked eyebrow or smile following a treatment from a less experienced injector. One thing that is important to remember is that asymmetry is more often the norm and that a small amount of asymmetry can be an aesthetic draw. More often this asymmetry was evident before the treatment and may have been accentuated because the patient is now drawn to it once the animation has been muted. Even in the case of extreme asymmetry small doses are broken down more quickly and the undesirable visible changes are short lived.

Answer: Crooked smile and bulging neck after Botox Thank you for your question jmhanen. Botox can be used to address the dimpling seen on the chin. The muscle that is relaxed is called the mentalis muscle. You have to be sure to use a small amount because there are neighboring muscles that need to be avoided. If the Botox reaches the nearby DLI (depressor labii inferioris) muscle it can lead to an asymmetric smile which lasts up to three to four months. If there is a bulge then the muscle that was intended to be treated may not have been treated completely. I recommend speaking with your doctor. Good luck!
