Botox to fix gummy smile gone wrong please help! Lengthened and flattened top lip. (photos)

rebecca12999
I got 2.5 units in either side to fix a 'gummy smile'. I did not notice a big difference so about 6 days later i saw the doctor again and got a further 1 unit in each side. Within 2 days i am unhappy with the results. When i smile the upper lip lengthens and flattens. I am so distressed i have my wedding 10 days from now Are these effects from first course of botox or top up? I've heard botox doesnt last as long around the mouth? Are the effects likely to be the same in 10 days Thank you
