What happened to my smile? (Photos)

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  Depending on the location of your injections it appears that the Botox used to treat your bunny lines may have been placed too low, causing your upper lip to not raise itself as much as before.  This would account for your uneven smile and lack of upper teeth visibility.  Voice your concerns to your injector, they should be able to best identify the correct issue.  

In the photo is hard to tell what is the reason for the changes on your smile, but it can be from several factors, one is the Botox, that can modify the muscle action, and it may turn out asymmetrical if you got a little more in one side than in the other, or if the Botox got into a muscle that was not the indicated one. Also the fillers on the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, makes the area more stiff and there is less space for the muscles to move, so now, the upper lip does not go as high as before, then there is less upper teeth show and your muscles get stronger on the lower part of the face pulling down the lower lip, and now you have more lower teeth show. I will recommend to stop Botox and fillers for a while, so the muscle balance on your smile goes back to your baseline and then your original smile will come back.

This sounds like you may have received Botox in the wrong place and it has interfered with the muscles that control your smile. Rather than going back to your previous injector, I would find a dermatologist with better technique. Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. When did you last receive Botox and are you experiencing any lack of mobility in your mouth? If you are an a consistent treatment plan, then the same temporary results should be expected. I suggest that you next consult in person with your board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

Thank you for your question. From your photo it appears Botox was used to treat your bunny lines and may have been placed too low. This would cause your upper lip to not raise as much as before and would account for your uneven smile. I recommend having a following up with your injector to discuss your concerns. Best of Luck!
