Is Botox more likely to go wrong if it has before? Am I doomed to a crooked smile forever? (Photo)

September 5, 2024
Asked By:Pinkonlypink in Los Angeles, California

I used a different injector in April, the botox in my DAO migrated & my smile became lopsided – more when I grimaced than with a natural smile, and there was a shift in my closed mouth alignment. It’s still slightly lopsided. Are the chances of botox migrating increased because it happened before? Is my smile still lopsided because my muscles think it’s the new normal? Can I go back to my regular injector yet?
