What Are the Side-effects from Injecting Botox at the Site of the Depressor Septi Muscles?

JohnAbraham2
I want to get Botox to stop my nose from drooping when I smile. I have read about the side-effects of Botox, but am wondering (1) what the most likely side-effects are from injection at that site. As well, are there (2) any tooth/mouth/lip-related problems? I am currently in the middle of an orthodontic treatment, so that is why I am concerned. Thank you in advance for your answers!
