Will injecting Botox into the depressor anguli oris cause atrophy of the modiolus or weaken the orbicularis?

Asked By:mmkkww in Edmonton, AB

I’m considering getting Botox in my DAO and platysma muscles because I feel my mouth pulling down on the sides and my family members have really droopy mouth corners as they age. I’m worried because I heard anything below the eye is harder to predict with Botox. Will injecting into the DAO cause significant atrophy of the Modiolus or give me weird mouth movements over time if my overall orbicularis is weaken?
