Botox Ruined My Smile, Will It Ever Go Back? (Photo)

June 19, 2023
Asked By:Violets234 in Chicago, Illinois

About five weeks ago, I had Botox injections that were supposed to help with wrinkles around my mouth. This week I noticed I can’t really smile, and when I do, it’s very unattractive. My smile was one of the only things I liked about my appearance. I’ve read you can’t undo Botox. Does it always wear off? I’m scared I’ll be this way forever.
