Answer: Dissatisfied with effects of Botox to mouth/chin area
I'm sorry that you've had negative results. This area is definitely an area to use caution in injecting Botox. The neurotoxin effects will lessen and likely go away in 3-4 months. Best of luck.

Answer: Botox around the mouth
Dependent upon placement and injector technique, Botox in the peri-oral region, or around the mouth can be tricky. Remember it's only temporary and the product will wear off. There are several muscles that cause our mouth to purse, smile, turn down, etc., and if it's not done precisely, you can have some asymmetry or be unable to use your mouth as you normally would.

Answer: Botox around lower lips and chin
Fortunately, Botox is temporary and if you do not like how your mouth looks, then your normal movement will return in around 3-5 months from the time of injection. Effects around the lower face tend to go away faster, especially if you use the muscles in this area a lot. When applied appropriately around the chin, Botox can vastly improve scowling and frown lines. However, depending on your particular peri-oral anatomy, especially if you have a broad smile, you may have not been a good candidate for certain Botox injections to the chin and lower lip regions. Hang in there...things will be back to normal soon.

Answer: Botox in the lips
If it has been over a week and you are still concerned about the results, I would see your botox injector. You may need touch up botox to make things move more evenly. Is this your first time receiving botox around the mouth? If so, it takes your mouth time to get used to botox, and the funny feeling may pass over the next few weeks. Regardless, the effects of the botox will be gone in a few months. Even in good hands, people either love or hate botox around their lips. You may find that it is a place you avoid in the future.

Answer: Asymmetry after Botox, what to do
I would recommend you discuss your concerns with your injecting physician in person. In the area around the mouth, Botox must be administered very carefully due to the variety of movements required for talking, chewing, etc. That being said, Botox can give some very nice results when done by a qualified injector.
You will want to wait at least 2 weeks after your injection to make sure the Botox has reached full effect. At that time, your injector can assess the situation. It may be a touch up injection will help things look better. In the worst case scenario, you will have to wait for the Botox to wear off, but you will return to normal.
