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.

I'm sorry you aren't happy with your final results. Luckily, Botox results aren't permanent. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months, then your chin will revert back to normal. Hope this helps.
No, this is unlikely due to your Botox treatment. Botox should not negatively impact your tolerance for your anesthesia. If you remain concerned, I recommend following up with your Doctor. Hope this helps.
