Asked By:LNF81 in Cairo, 11

I had Botox in my chin and it resulted with a crooked mouth and a smile when I talk , I know that the Botox was not injected correctly and it stays only for 3 month but I'm scared because I had bell parsly 15 years ago so I'm afraid that the muscles are already weak and that i might have weakened them more with the Botox , my qoueestion is, is it safe to do Botox if you have a history of bell palsy ?
