How long after Botox will asymmetry correct itself? (photo)

I'm sorry you are having issues from your Botox treatment. Generally Botox effects last three to four months and fade gradually, although this time frame can vary among patients.

Thankfully the effects of Botox are temporary and it will return to normal in 3-4 months. It's important to find an experienced provider who understands the anatomy. In this case - the depressor labii inferiorus muscle was injected and it's the cause of the crooked smile. I'll attach a video explaining the mentalis muscle.

It can be concerning to experience asymmetry after Botox treatment, but these effects are typically temporary. Here’s what you can expect:

Duration of Effects: Botox generally lasts between 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual and the area treated. As the effects of Botox wear off, the asymmetry should gradually improve. Most patients begin to notice changes in muscle movement and symmetry returning around 2 to 3 months after the injection.

Natural Resolution: Over time, as the Botox effect diminishes, muscle activity will gradually return to normal, and the asymmetry should resolve. The rate at which this happens can vary from person to person.

Follow-Up Consultation: It’s advisable to schedule a follow-up appointment with your provider to discuss your concerns. They can assess the situation and determine if any corrective measures, such as additional Botox in specific areas or other treatments, might be beneficial.

Future Treatments: If you choose to have Botox again in the future, ensure you communicate your previous experience to your provider. They can adjust their technique to help avoid similar outcomes.

Remember, while it can be unsettling, these effects are usually temporary, and with time, your smile and facial symmetry should return to normal.
