Answer: Uncomfortable after Botox--Try Venus Legacy This is tough to answer without pictures. This may be due to where the Botox was placed. It will dissolve in 3-4 months. In the mean time, Venus Legacy treatments can help soften. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Botox Effects Temporary & Typically Last About 3-7 Months I am sorry that you are having this problem. I have been using Botox for aesthetic purposes since 1991. In my experience, what you are describing may occur when Botox (or the other muscle relaxers, Dysport and Xeomin) are injected too low onto the cheek or if some should diffuse down onto the cheek and affect the muscles of facial expression responsible for smiling and the distortion you are experiencing. While, unfortunately, there no injection to reverse the effects of Botox, the results are happily temporary and last only until the Botox is metabolized away--usually somewhere between three and seven months, given individual variations. In many people, the undesirable effects often improve significantly even after only two months or so. Going forward, you would do well to seek consultation and treatment by a board certified aesthetic physician with expertise in the use of Botox.

Answer: I am sorry this has happened to you. Thank you for your question. I am sorry this has happened to you. This is due to your Botox being placed too low below the crow’s feet and paralyzing your zygomaticus muscles (smile muscles). Unfortunately, Botox takes 3-4 months to wear off. I recommend you seek out a new injector.

Answer: Distorted Smile After Botox Thank you very much for your question. I’m sorry to hear that you did not receive good results from your recent Botox procedure. From your description, it sounds like your Botox injections may been incorrectly placed, affecting the zygomatic muscle, which draws the mouth up to a smile. This could affect the shapes of your smile, and the movement of your lips or lower cheeks. Unfortunately, there is no way to undo these side-effects. However, the results from Botox are temporary and will wear off slowly. In about three to four months, these side-effects should resolve completely. If you have any further concerns, I suggest speaking with your Botox provider for further advice.
