Are "units" of Botox/Dysport marked on the syringe? Is it possible that they could inject more than what they thought they had?

Asked By:Koremins in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Injector says she injected 1.5 units of dysport on each side of my upper lip, now food/liquid is falling out of my mouth, I have very little chewing motion. cannot use my upper lip to slide food off a spoon, can't use a straw to sip. Could 1.5 units cause this or is it likely she injected a more? I asked for filler, she said it's not the norm to put filler there. When I asked about side effects, I was told "some people may have a problem pronouncing certain letters afterwards, but that's all."
