Muscle lines that weren't there before injections - does anyone know why this happened? (Photo)

Question

I had botox done in the mentalist muscles and dao. I didn't have much lines before that and now i'm noticing deep lines. Does anyone know what happened?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

The effects of Botox are temporary and should gradually return to the previous state over the next few months.  The asymmetry caused from the injection should be discussed with your injector so future treatments can be adjusted.

Daniel Voss, MD · Answer

It appears that the Botox has spread unevenly, causing a slight asymmetry. It's not a new line, but rather hyper and hypo-contraction on one side, making your smile look different. To address this, injecting Botox more centrally in the Mentalis muscle should help. You should see your usual smile return in a couple of months.
Best regards,Dr. Voss
