When I smile my upper lip covers my teeth. My teeth don't show much when I smile . I want to ask if injecting Botox on specific muscles around my upper lip would lift it up when I smile and therefore show more teeth ?! Thanks

Answer: Can Botox Improve my smile? Botox can improve a "gummy" smile whereupon your upper central teeth/gums show too much when you smile. However, this lowers the lip when you smile for those with the problem just described. I am not aware of improvement of smiling by helping it lift more. Botox to the lip depressor muscles (depressor angularis oris) can help gently lift the outer corners of the lips, but for your concern I'm not aware of a muscle/technique to improve your smile with Botox. There are surgical lip lifts that can help accentuate the lip appearance both at rest and with smiling and dermal fillers can enhance the outline, shape, volume depending upon your concerns. Best regards.

Answer: Botox for upper lip lift The short answer is No, Botox would not lift your upper lip. There are no pictures posted to review ; however, your best option may be a surgical lip lift with incisions hidden in the nostrils.
