My smile is fully restored! I am not making frowning expressions now, since botox broke my habit, which I am thankful for!

You are beautiful in the picture. Is that your wedding picture? Congrats! Does it mean everything is back to normal? Next time, pick someone who is experienced. I had gone to some advanced botox and fillers classes where some doctors had no clue how to inject.

I am happy to read that these recovered ... was your first experience with Botox? I have been 8 months since my botox and my smile remains paralyzed, but I had done botox 3 times before.

This was my first injection below the eyes. I am glad I know better now, what could happen.

This is my normal smile before Botox. I'll post another picture from the wedding, when I feel my smile is normal again!

PS: That doctor totally screwed up by ever suggesting anything was wrong with your cheeks! I wouldn't think botox would ever be right to help eye troughs anyway, only crowsfeet or forehead. What some ladies don't know about forehead is the botox can easily cause the eyebrows to droop too. Prayers with you!!

I'm practicing speaking using my lips normally, without the lisp that botox created. I think I'm 90% recovered.

There is something I don't understand. If the botox function is to paralize muscles and you got some muscles paralized due this procedure, how in heaven could you think that a solution about it is injecting more botox? Come on, is common sense! The first one wasn't your fault.. but the second one I'm sorry to say it was! Anyways and luckly the effects of botox will disappear and I hope you are not suffering because no one deserves it. Just hold on a couple or months or so and everything will be as before! Hope you have a great wedding

The second injection was necessary to even out my face, so I didn't look like I had Bells Palsy.

Just married 10-31-2014 and my smile is back to normal. I have noticed that I have stopped frowning expressions, which is good so Dr Waldman was right about thankful

Five and 1/2 months have passed and my speech is just now back to normal, but when I smile, my bottom teeth still aren't visible. We changed the wedding date to October in hopes that my smile will be back to normal and surely will be by then!
