Botox for one smile side? (photo)

Hello,

Thank you for your question.

It is very common to have facial asymmetry and
a difference in muscle movement on each side of the face. If this is something
that bothers you, it may be helpful to discuss subtle options for injectable
treatment, (Botox or Dysport for example) with a skilled injector, and then
decide if that's the right option for you.

All the best.

Hi Adele.  Yes, it's possible.  The injections may turn out looking stellar, but there are potential downsides.  First, when only injecting one side, the injections should be done very conservatively so that the lip does not drop below the other side and thus lead to the opposite problem.  Second, because dosing would be very light, the results would not last long.  Typically with the dosage we use in this area, we set patient expectations of about 6-8 weeks for duration.  For the amount of asymmetry you have you may decide doing nothing is better than doing something.
