Botox lip flip and upper lip weakness - Causes?

nellysgirll33
I have gotten lip flip a few times over an 18 month period. I have never had any problems with weakness in my upper lip until the most recent time. I can’t hold liquid in my mouth such as using mouthwash or spit properly. Drinking can be slightly awkward. Question is: is this cumulative, will this always be experienced if I get lip flip from here on out or is it due to poor technique, etc from the injector?
