Dr. did 5 units on either side of the chin under the nasal labial fold? and 2- 5 unit shots in the front chin. The left side of lip is pulling up and the right side of my lip is pulling down. don't want to go back to Dr. who did it as he is admittedly not very experienced in this area. Is there a Dr in Bergen/Hudson County NJ that can help straighten out my lower lip with a small amount of botox on the unparalyzed side. How soon will this amount botox START to fade away? Will post pic soon.
