I had botox for the second time 7days ago but only seeing results on the right side of my face so when I smile I look totally odd and lopsided.... I'm so worried that the treatment is not going to work as they both took affect at the same time when I had it previous.

Answer: Asymmetry after Botox
Typically by 1 week, Botox should start to work. If you are seeing action on one side but not the other side, it's time to go back to the treating physician and see if it can be adjusted. It's not rare to have one side working better than the other side with Botox injection. I routinely invite the patients back at 1 to 2 weeks post injection to see if Botox is working as intended and touch up as needed.

Answer: Botox 7 days ago
I would suggest giving it another week. Sometimes Botox takes up to 2 weeks to see the full effect. You may just have one side that takes a little longer. If you do not see results in the next week I would go back and see your injecting physican.
