I had botox (2008 ) in the cupid's bow area this caused ballooning either side of the upper lip to nose area. It is so weird and look like a freak. From that date I have had to have fillers to pump out the tow side so it kind of looks normal. The person said this was due to an overdose of botox or bad batch of botox.

Answer: Botox on Cupid's Bow Area
The effect of Botox is not long lasting; averaging about 3 - 4 months for a patient, and sometimes up to 6 months. After the Botox has worn off those muscles will go back to their normal state regardless of how long someone has been having Botox injected. The reason those muscles will not have permanent atrophy is because like any other muscle, it will build up once it is being used in the same fashion it was before.That being said, Botox from 2008 would not affect you now. It may be that you had a different chemical/filler injected? I would speak with a board certified plastic surgeon about what would have caused this and what can be done to treat it.

Answer: Botox for cupid's bow
I'm not quite clear why you would have Botox injected into your cupid's bow. That said, the Botox will last 3-6 months, so there should be no permanent effect that you're describing. Make sure to have a dermatologist or plastic surgeon review your case for the best possible treatment.
