I recently had 6 units of botox injected in my chin for my pebble/cobblestone chin. Today is the second day and I have developed a ridge/ledge where part of my chin just sticks out when my lips come together. It looks awful! I need to know if this is likely to resolve and if not what I can do to fix it. I am NOT interested in getting more botox as it made me feel sick after! Can Juvederm help fix this issue and can I expect any severe side effects to it? Can I easily fix this issue?

It is really best just to inject the masseter muscle to slim the face with Botox. Please consult an expert with Botox for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green
Thanks for your question! Early effects of Botox can be felt and seen by 3 to 4 days after injection. It takes about 2 weeks to see the final result. The results after filler such as Juvederm or Radiesse can be seen immediately but there can be some redness or swelling for the first...
