It is hard to tell without actually seeing what is going on but it sounds like some of the muscles under the nose were weakened and although this is unusual it will disappear. to make things more even another injection in the area that is not weakened will help

I'm sorry you are unhappy with your Botox treatment. Unfortunately the placement of the Botox is responsible for the result. The effect is temporary and will gradually improve over the next three to four months as the product wears off.

Botox is frequently used to help soften the appearance of a gummy smile. Because the effects of the treatment are temporary, repeat injections are necessary to continue the result. Typically Botox will gradually wear off over three to four months. The treatment can be repeated as needed.
