I received botox on 11/9/21 in my chin. The injector placed it incorrectly and now I have an indentation and dimple on one side of my chin and an uneven smile. It's hard to capture the indentation. Will this go away? It will be four months on March 1st and I've seen no change. I did not use to look this way. The indentation / dimple bothers me more then the uneven smile. I've been patiently waiting it out but it's not getting better. Will this resolve? How much longer will it take?

Botox and other neuromodulators take about 14 days to be in full effect once injected and the effects will gradually fade over three to four months. I've included a video about neuromodulators and how they are able to soften the appearance of wrinkles that I hope you find helpful.
