A few weeks go I went to get Botox from a nurse that's new to injecting Botox/Filler. She injected the two chin muscles with 2 units of Botox in each muscle as seen in the photo (a total of 4 units). It's been a few weeks and my chin is making this weird bump now, and has not relaxed those muscles. Any recommendations to suggest to the nurse injector? I'm so frustrated because I have an event coming up in a week, and I don't want my chin to look weird when I attend that event.

Hi @rjohns518! I recommend getting 2 units of Botox into the DAO muscle. The injections stop the DAO muscle pulling down the corners of the mouth. Treatment will cause the corners of the mouth to be slightly lifted, giving the mouth a more relaxed, happy, youthful and pleasing appearance.
Botox results take up to 1-2 weeks and last up to 3-4 months in new areas of treatment. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Dr. Emer
