48 hours after receiving 15 cc Botox and 1 cc Voluma in each cheek, I noticed tightness in my right cheek causing my lips to not fully pull up in the right corner. This makes my smile asymmetrical. I had 1 cc of Juvederm injected in each cheek 7 months ago and liked the results. I wanted more smoothness in my cheeks when I smile so I revisited the same board certified doctor who suggested Botox this time. When should I call the doctor with my concerns? Can my smile be corrected?

Answer: Botox changing the smile It is possible to have the smile affected by Botox injections.This typically happens when crow's feet lines are injected too far out and down.The main smile muscles are called the zygomaticus.These muscles attach from your cheekbone just underneath those outer smile lines, or crow's feet.When treating crow's feet in this area, Botox injections should be done in very small amounts and very close to the skin surface.If Botox was injected in the forehead or frown lines, then it is unlikely this had any effect on your smile.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
