Asked By:Caprisunshine in Orange County, CA

Help! What can I do after 4 units of Botox in my chin left me unable to speak or smile? My smile is flat, my bottom lip covers my teeth, and right side sags down and shows space below my top teeth. My husband said I look freakish and friends are calling him to ask if I have health issues( a stroke or balls palsy)! The injection was 8 days ago and I struggle to speak, which sadly is what I do for a living. I went to a surgeon who is sponsored on this website. Any suggestions for improvement?

Answer: It is possible the deeper placement of Botox in the chin area affected your lips; 4 units is quite a small amount
