Be careful with lip Botox

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD answers: How many Botox units are needed for upper lip plumping?

I've heard that you can use Botox around the upper lip to make the fuller. How many units does that take?

I agree with most of the others here.  Please be cautious of getting Botox into your lips.  While some have reported fair results in getting rid of vertical lip lines, there is a significant risk of lip weakness (which is much more unattractive than the lines).

Botox is a great medication when used correctly - but there are likely better choices for lip augmentation.
