Hello, Thanks for your question.If botox is applied to the nasolabial area, the muscles of the laughing group may be affected. In this case, there may be an asymmetry between the bilateral muscles, both in motion (ie while laughing) and at rest (ie, without moving at all). This is normal. For this reason, the botox of this area is used very carefully and only applied when it is absolutely necessary.You need to have a detailed examination and face analyse to get customised treatment plan, be sure that your surgeon is professional board certified facial plastic surgeon.

For the past seven years, I've been receiving Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin treatments to slim down my lower face by reducing the size of my masseter muscles.
