Ledge/Ridge in chin after Botox--please help!

scutebbFeb 27, 2016
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 appears as if too much Botox was placed or placed incorrectly in the chin.  It will take a few months for the muscle to relax and return to normal.  Please consult an expert with Botox for the best cosmetic results

Heaviness/tingling is a common side effect of Botox, and should resolve within two weeks. As far as the cold symptoms, most likely you coincidentally happened to catch a cold right after your Botox injections. Cold symptoms are not a common side effect of Botox. It's always best to let your...
