Skewed smile after Botox injections in smile muscles for essential tremor (photos)

Asked By:skewed_smile88 in Miami, Florida, Verenigde Staten

I'm an essential tremor patient in my 40s, and as medication (propranolol, rivotril, xanax) are only giving limited relief for the shaking (specifically in my smiling muscles) - the neurologist r we t their botox department for just 4 units Botox in my minor and major smiling muscles in total. We're now months later and the negative side-effects are still there: a skewed smile on one side of my face. Does Botox have a typical timeline, what's my perspective here?
