Botox to Chin 3 Days Ago Caused Lower Lip to Slant when Smiling or Talking, Which Side Would Require a Bit More Botox? (photo)

Because it's only been 3 days since your treatment, I would wait before making any assumptions about the final outcome. It may take several days before it's all taken affect, then I'd consider visiting your provider for further assessment to determine if you need any adjustments.

My concern is that more BOTOX is only going to make your issues worse not better.  If a small does was used, then the effects should wear off relatively quickly.  If a larger dose was used, then it might take a relatively long time for all of these changes to wear off.  I personally feel that using filler for the chin is much more predictable.  

I would give some additional time, 5-7 days prior to moving forward with any additional treatment.  Consult with your injector after one week and he/she will be able to better assess your situation and any further management that may be needed to attain symmetry.

 

 

Dear Mich, uneven lips can occur if Botox inadvertently reaches the muscle that pulls the lip down (depressor Labii) on one side. That side cannot move downwards when the unaffected side does, hence the uneven lip. A quick fix is to inject 1 or 2 units of Botox in the side that is still moving , to lessen the discrepancy between both sides. 

Having some unevenness after Botox injection is not uncommon. Fortunately, in most cases this resolves within 4-6 weeks, and occasionally longer.

There are muscles that pull the lip down. When these are affected by Botox, the lip raises up. One can treat the lower side of the lip with Botox to even things out, which only takes a tiny amount (1-3 Units), but it will improve on its own if one is patient.
