Weird upper cheek when I smile after botox? (photo)

Thank you very much for your question
and your photograph. Unfortunately, it does appear that your provider placed
the Botox injections too low and now the Botulinum Toxin has migrated downward.
There is nothing that can be done to reverse these side-effects. However, the
results from Botox are temporary, and in three to four months the side-effects
will wear off. At this time, your features will return to normal. If you have
any further questions or concerns, I suggest speaking with your Botox provider
for their advice.

This will resolve with time, usually within 3-4 months, and is a result of placing the injections to low. See a certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. 

This may be due to the placement of Botox. It will wear off in 3-4 months. In the mean time, Venus Legacy treatments can help soften this. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. I am sorry this has happened to you. This happened because the Botox was injected to low around your eyes and has migrated to your cheeks. Unfortunately, this is nothing you can do until the Botox wears off in 3-4 months. I would inform you injector of this so they make adjustments next time you receive treatment. Best of Luck!

I  regret that you experienced this complication, but it will certainly resolve on its own.  The problem occurred due to the effect of Botox on smile muscles attached to the cheek bone, and can usually be avoided by keeping the product injections away from these muscles.
Discuss this with your injector, who should offer solutions to avoid this problem in the future.

Thank you for your question. I am sorry this has happened to you. This happened because the Botox was injected to low around your eyes and has migrated to your cheeks.

Thank you for your question angelique2016. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression such as the crows feet seen around the eyes when one smiles. With any Botox injection there is a risk that the Botox will spread to nearby muscles. In this area it can spread to the nearby zygomaticus muscles in the upper cheeks. If these muscles are relaxed with Botox it can lead to a temporary asymmetric smile. Most people enjoy the results of their Botox treatment for 3-4 months. At that point unintended effects typically also resolve. Please consult with
a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Check back with your doctor.  A small touchup can help you with this problem.  Slight adjustment are often needed following Botox injection.   The sooner you get it fixed the better. 

Hello angelique2016,Thank you for the photo to accompany your question. What you have described would typically result from the Botox at your crow's feet being injected too low and had migrated downward creating this effect. You could also consider using slightly less at the crow's feet next time. Be sure and discuss this with your injector. Be well. 

your Botox was injected too low and results in this appearance. be sure you see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon
