I strongly agree that you proceed with caution when it comes to Botox in the lips.
This is a treatment that is loved by some and hated by others.
Lines of the lips are due to several factors which include loss of volume, loss of bony & dental structure, loss of elasticity and repetitive use. Botox only treats the last of these and therefore multiple approaches may be required for optimal results.
I have had to injecte anywhere from 4-8 units in the upper lip and 2-4 in the lower lip. I always start with a low dose and proceed from there.
I often combine fillers, resurfacing (dermabrasion or laser), collagen induction ( skin needling), and boney supplementation with either dental appliances or deep fillers.
I hope this helps!
