Should I relax platysma muscle to reduce effects of botox issues from an injection on sides of lip and one side of chin? (photo)

Asked By:Ysa2 in Montreal, QC

I had botox on the side of my lips and on one side of my chin to get rid of frown lines and dimples on chin. My smile is now crooked on the side the chin was injected,bottom lip does not pull down as much as other side and even worse my Platysma muscle in neck on that side is now activated when I smile, so I have a long band. I know the botox effect in my lip will go away in a few months but wonder if I should have him inject the platysma band to reduce it. I don't want to make matters worse.
