Uneven smile after Botox - will it ever go? (Photos)

missylou1
Hey! I had botox on forehead on on 26 jun 2017 and there was a small amount left. The injector (a dentist) advised to put under 5 units in two places each side of mouth to lift corners when resting mouth. Until now (dec 4 2017) my smile is uneven. It seemed to only work one side. Forehead normal after 4 months but left side of lip still very uneven (but better) when i smile or talk & lip pressing/flattening against teeth. Practitioner thinks botox wore off. I don't! Or do i have nerve damage?thx
