Can you have Botox to make lips appear more full or to show more teeth when the mouth is slightly open? (Photo)

Question

i've had juvederm ultra twice. when i went for my second appointment the injector mentioned i had lots of tissue volume & that botox could be an option but i was unclear on it. how does this work & does it look unnatural/ducky? do you lose/change movement in the mouth/lip area? if i get more filler im worried that my teeth will disappear even more. what are your thoughts? the 2nd round of filler looks no where near as full as the first time as well! does injecting around the border look smaller?

Botox won’t help with showing your lips. However, the are dermal filler injections performed in a way to create a cleft in the lower lip which can show more teeth. You can also consider dissolving your current filler and start fresh.Seek an expert for your injections. Dr. Aldo

Once the volume of the lips has been restore or otherwise optimized, precise application of Botox can enhance the appearance of the teeth and vertical show of the lips.Please make sure that you see an experienced doctor for a thorough consultation and assessment prior to undergoing any treatments.Best regards and I hope this helps, Dr. Sapijaszko.

Botox may be able to improve this. You'll want to see someone meticulous. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. PDO nova threads can also improve shape and provide lift. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I agree with your injector, more filler will not accomplish what you are looking for and will appear unnatural. Botox if injected properly can show more lip, but it can also cause the lips to show less teeth, which is why it is used to treat a gummy smile. Best to make sure you have a board certified injector for the best results.Good luck, Dr. Papantoniou.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  Botox can be added to the upper lip to creat a “flip” effect to the lip.  This in essence shows more of the dry red of the lip - the portion that lipstick and chapstick is applied to.  Be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation as this is not a commonly performed injection.  Best wishes.
