Botox can be used to decrease salivary production after a parotid gland injury so that the capsule can heal, sealing the leak. To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these “core four” cosmetic specialties. Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery help to identify a highly trained surgeon.Cameron Chesnut#realself100 Physician
Botox is used in treatment of Frey syndrome after parotidectomy. salivary leak after facelift may be due to duct injury and would not respond to Botox.

If he injected into parotid tissue, it would not have drained out. This would have been for salivary leak which occurs rarely after face lift.

Irregularities 24 hours after botox injections are normal. You will not see final results for at least 2 weeks. See a specialist if it lasts for more than 2 weeks. Best, Dr. Emer.
If you ever see one side of your face get weaker or change, you should get assessed by a physician (your family physician to start). Once you do that, and assuming everything is ok, there are some good options to help.I posted a link below with a discussion on the eyebrows and forehead. Dr Bo...
Thank you for your question. Botox could only help raise your upper lip further if there was a muscle that was causing it to droop when you smile. Unfortunately there are no muscles that do this, therefore Botox treatment would be ineffective.
