Lower Lip Got Paralysed from Botox

June 3, 2011
Asked By:Ihas

Will this go away? And should I exercise to fight this paralysis? I only wanted to inject in chin, but he also injected in lower cheek-I did not want that. It was done for old facial paralysis to correct overactive chin and smile asymmetry-I only wanted to do chin. Now half of lower lip is paralyzed: assymetry at speech. I went through hell fighting facial paralysis before-not to have this now,I wasn't warned of side effect. Can it be permanent?
