Frozen smile. Numbness in upper lip. Soreness in cheeks after Botox

January 18, 2014
Asked By:BlissfulRadiance in San Diego, CA

I received a small amount of botox in nasiolabal folds nearly 1 month ago and am experiencing a reptilian smile (flattened elongated upper lip resting on upper teeth) heaviness when I smile, and an uncomfortable sensation in the cheeks. I understand that there are no standard "antidotes" to this procedure. What are some options to accelerate metabolism of botox and/or to counterbalance this area?
