Botox to decrease lip size

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Botox for orbicularis oris muscle?

Can Botox be used for the orbicularis oris muscle? That particular muscle is too built up on my face and gives me a masculine appeal. I attached a photo of a woman who's muscle around her top lip is built up similarly to mine. It's the part circled in red.

In this particular area, Botox is most useful for minimizing radial lip lines (lipstick bleeding lines). However, it is not commonly used for debulking or decreasing the size of the lips.
