Asked By:hend708 in Washington DC, DC

I got Botox injection for my gummy smile 2 days ago. The middle part of my upper lip drops down and outwards when I eat or talk, it feels and looks very strange and noticeable even from the side. Is that common? and will it resolve within a few days, or do I have to wait until the effect of Botox wears off?
