I had Botox 5 days ago from a very well known plastic surgeon. I seem to have the full effect on the right & nothing on left. This is creating an uneven look when I make facial expressions. The dr office said that certain muscles take at different times, but shouldn't I see something on day 5 from the left side? I have a follow up apt. on day 10, but I'm getting married in 2 wks. Should allow this doctor to re-inject on the 10th day if nothing has changed. Is this common?
