Botox in chin gone wrong? Or under injected? Over injected? Please help (Photo)

Question

I had 5 units of Botox in the chin to help with a crease I didn’t like, now my chin looks like a nose, the middle part contracts when I say anything with an O like hello, or sip from a straw, also slightly noticeable at rest a small ball at the end of chin. When talking slightly noticeable as well. Had zero concerns before Botox was placed other than the crease. This is day 3 after treatment.

Hello and thank you for your question.  It does take 7 to 10 days to be fully active, however it wont hurt to add a few more units in the active part of the muscle to help with the unsightly buckling.  Best of luck!

It can take up to 2 weeks for final results with Botox. However, a touch-up of Botox may be needed to improve this. Otherwise, Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Hope this helps.

It can take up to 2 weeks to see final results from Botox injections. If things are still the same after 2 weeks then some additional Botox touch ups can be given to help further improve. This is an advanced technique so make sure you are under the care of an experienced physician injector. Botox works well for chin dimpling, however, I wouldn't use it to treat a chin crease. Deep chin creases are best treated with fillers. Hope this helps.

Please wait another week and if your chin still has the same movement, please return to your doctor since you will require more Botox.

Thank you for your question Kbock.  It can take up to 2 weeks to see the final result of Botox.  You may need a touch up to help relax the muscle in the middle.  I would wait a little longer before having any more injected.  I typically don't re-inject someone until at least 2 weeks after the initial injection.  Best of luck!
