Botox for facial asymmetry due to nerve damage? (Photos)

December 12, 2022
Asked By:AvaBear in Los Angeles, California

I underwent Accutite for my jowls along with Morpheus on my lower face/neck. For 6 weeks I was left with the inability to properly move my upper right lip when puckered or pronounced “O” and “P” words. It is slowly improving but I am now experiencing assymmetry. There is a dimple forming and my nasal labial fold is higher on the “paralyzed” side. I can also still feel some tenderness next to my nose. My right nostril doesn’t flare the same as the left. I’ve done a round of steroids. What’s next?
