I had fillers in my nasolabial lines months ago and since then, my smile appears crooked on the one side. Can fillers have this effect?
Answer: Crooked smile after fillers? It most likely is something which was pre-existing but you just didn't notice. If that's not the case, then it could be from Botox/Dysport in this area. I haven't seen weakness of the marginal mandibular nerve from injections before either.

Answer: Crooked smile from fillers? There may be several reasons for the crooked smile. First, it is possible that it existed before the injections and that it was just not noticed. Second, more filler could have been injected on one side versus the other. Third, filler could have been injected into a muscle. The good news is that if this is the case, it will dissolve. Botox and/or filler could be used likely. It is important to see a fellowship-trained expert! I wish you success!

Answer: Asymmetry Your left lower lip labialis muscle is slightly weaker than your right side causing a very slight asymmetry.( it doesn’t pull your lower lip down as much as the opposite side) This was likely pre existing issue and now you are hyper focusing on it since you had a facial treatment . Filler does not affect the marginal mandibular nerve that innervates this muscle. If a local anesthetic was used then it can temporarily affect that nerve but it wears off in a few hours .
