Two days ago I received botox in my chin to get rid of dimples. Two days later I have a large bump in my chin (see picture). Also, my smile is being affected - mostly lower lip doesn't go down. Like, my bottom teeth don't show when I smile now. If I need more botox, can you tell me exactly where I should have it. Below bump? Side of bump? And should I worry about my smile becoming even more changed from additional botox?

Answer: BOTOX IN THE CHIN It is still too soon to see the final result from the Botox, is important to wait at least 1 week to see the complete effect of the Botox. Looking at your photos, it seems that you may benefit more from fillers on the chin than Botox, because you have a receding chin and that gives you the dimples, you need to have more support on the chin so your Mentalis muscle is not active all the time, and then the dimples will be gone.

Answer: You have had an unbalanced botox service in the chin. This leaves part of the mentalis muscle untreated. More botox is needed to balance this service. In the future, I recommend avoiding botox for this area and using fillers instead. The question is whether your current injector understands the anatomy well enough to provide this service for you?
