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)!
