Crooked smile after Botox for crows feet and forehead. It has been 17days since the procedure.

It is possible that the muscles that lift the corners of the mouth when smiling may have been inadvertently affected if one of the drops of Botox was placed too low below the eye.  When you smile, is it even?  It this is the case, a small amount of Botox could theoretically be placed in the non-affected side to partially paralyze it, too.  However, if you do nothing, the effects will likely wear off soon since the dose was likely small.  6 units around each crows foot is not a large dose.

ana1984,I am sorry to hear about your experience with Botox.  The most likely scenario, without seeing photos or examining you, is that the person who injected the Botox placed the product too deep and the zygomaticus major muscle was affected.  While you could ask the physician who performed your injections to try and inject the other side similarly I believe this will be unpredictable and hard to match to the affected side.  While inconvenient and frustrating for you, I would recommend just letting the Botox wear off.  Unfortunately Botox cannot be reversed but the effects will dissipate with time.  Cody Koch
