I cannot move the corners of my mouth. My pronunciation of "P" and "B" is effected. In the pictures I am trying with all my might to smile. Are there exercises to help me?
Answer: Botox Overdose I am very sorry to see that this has happened to you. The result that you have, as you probably figured out, is related to the quantity and location of the Botox injection you received around the mouth. Fortunately, the results of your Botox are not permanent and you will start to see motion again over the next 6 weeks and complete resolution by 3-4 month. There are no exercises to promote reversal of the effect - only time. As a question, as I am just curious, did you receive Botox for a chemical brow lift as well? For future injections I would recommend treatment by a board certified surgeon who specializes in the treatment of the face.Be healthy and be well,James M. Ridgway, MD, FACS

CONTACT NOW Answer: Difficulty smiling after botox. Botox treatments around the mouth must be injected conservatively if not it is possibly to loose the ability to pronounce certain words or even smile like in your case. Im guessing you were over treated in this area. There is nothing you can do at this point but let the botox wear off approximately 3 months . Best of Luck

Answer: Facial palsy following botox This is an unusual complication of botox. It will wear off and it will improve over the coming weeks although it may take 4-6 months for the full effects to wear off.I would make sure you find out what you have had injected and what dose which should be defined in units. It is important that if you have botox again that you know the doses. It may be that you only ned very small doses.Sorry to hear you have had this issue from botox. It is rare and its effects will wear off.

Answer: I am unable to smile at all after Botox injections around my mouth. Are there exercises that can help me? Thank you for your question. Unfortunately no exercises will ameliorate your complaints at this time. It is a result of the amount and location of the BoTox injected. You will have to wait until it fully wears off (typically lasts 3 months), but will gradually lessen at 6-10 weeks. Best wishes!
