Question : My wife had Botox around her mouth and it is obvious it was overdone. She can't smile and it looks bad. What can be done?

Brief Answer:
She would have to wait for the effect of botox to gradually wean of

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have gone through your query and I have noted down your concern.

Effect of botox (botulinum toxin) would last for a period varying from anywhere between 3-6 months and there is nothing which can be done to immediately reverse Or cut short its action. Effect of botox would gradually wean of over a period of time.
