Options for lower left side facial nerve damage since birth (had Botox & filler)? (Photos)

May 28, 2022
Asked By:MrsFishertobe in Kingston, ON

Hello! :) In first photo, I'm due for Botox to my lower R side to correct asymmetry r/t nerve damage on L side. Is more pronounced when Botox has fully worn off. I get Botox in several areas of face & have started filler. I don't mind maintaining Botox/filler to mid/upper face, BUT filler to soften worsening jowls & botox for nerve damage that lasts only 2.5 mos is getting $$. Would a mini or SMAS facelift be more cost effective in the long run& could I still be a candidate despite nerve damage?
