Why do I have pockets of (fat, muscle, skin?) at the corners of my mouth when I smile months after Botox? (Photo)

Botox results last up to 3 to 4 months and can be softened with Venus Legacy and Thermage treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello, and thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with your Botox results. These results, however, are only temporary and last for about 3-4 months. You will need a proper evaluation to determine what went wrong and what can be done to correct it.

I highly recommend only seeking treatments from expert, experienced injectors who have the necessary skill to precisely inject filler into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. They also know the most advanced injection techniques to ensure you safely achieve your desired results. Hope that helps!

I'm sorry you've been having issues from your Botox treatment. It's difficult to say what occurred without before photos or knowing more about your injections. The effects of Botox are not permanent and you should gradually return to your pre-treatment appearance after 3 or 4 months.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, the altered "pull" of the paralyzed musculature appears responsible for the deformity. Unfortunately there is no agent to reverse the effect which will usually abate spontaneously within 3-4 months after injection.Best wishes...
