“Elvis muscle” right side area of concern. “Snarl”and even feels strange. First rhino. 2011. Surgeon also cut something that would drop my lips a bit more, fix a slight gummy smile. Not sure if issue started then of after second rhino. in 2015.

Will Botox help relax permanently?This gives me apparent asymmetrical smile/nasolabial folds.
