I have always had an issue with my nose. It points down a lot when I smile, and so last year I had botox injected right under the columella and then 2 on either side of the nostrils. A few days later I looked so awkward smiling it was embarrassing. I looked as if I was really struggling to smile. However, it did stop my nose from moving. I would like to ask if that was the correct way to do it or if there is another way that I can achieve a non-moving nose and still keep my smile? Thank you :)

More important than the speed of the injection is the skill of the injector. It sounds like the physician had much more skill at injecting. That is the key to good cosmetic injections.
It is highly unlikely that you ruined your Botox by yelling unless you bent down and allowed the Botox to droop. If you are concerned I would return to your treating physician within two weeks of the injections. Best, Dr. Green
