Asked By:mj123lo in Australia, AU

I read online that using Botox to 'flip' the lip can be atrophying and will lengthening the philtrum that will lengthen with age. Is this true? I really enjoy the look of when I get Botox to flip my lip but I don't want to create a worse result over time if I can't continue to get Botox or fillers.
