I had Botox injections to the masseters. One injection was between my chin and the corner of my mouth on the right side, unlike the injections on the other side which were in the cheek. 1 month later now, I can not bend down the right mouth corner when i make a sad expression and when i press my lips together, there is a dimple on the right side. Will it recover? Is there anything I can do to help it?

These lines can take some time to appear improved after Botox injections, typically from 1-2 weeks. After that period of time if you do not see improvement you may need additional injections.
Botox is a great way to temporarily reduce hyperhidrosis, it would be helpful knowing how many units were applied to each palm, I suggest you follow up with your provider to discuss the amount that was injected
Hi,Unfortunately most doctors inject Botox in most patients in the same way without truly examining each patient's unique anatomy and muscle function. Botox can be injected in a variety of ways. What you are asking for is to spread the eyebrows apart. This can be done easily...
