Lower Lip Got Paralysed from Botox

Hi Ihas,

Your side effect from your recent Botox injection will be temporary, hopefully not too lasting as the doses used in the cheek are not very strong usually.  Sorry that you have to put up with the temporary side effects.  This is another example of how the injection of Botox is an art and patients should make sure that they choose their injecting physician most carefully.  Good luck and be well.

This effect will be temporary.  While BOTOX can last 4 months, typically these types of side effects are much shorter lived because the effect is the result of a small does of agent that happens to get to the wrong place.  I personally feel that BOTOX treatment around the mouth to adjust the smile is a high risk procedure and fillers to accomplish this is a much safer alternative.
