I have called several offices in Beverly Hills to ask re: botox but the girls answering the phone don't really know the answer to this question. I am wondering if there is a place where botox can be injected to prevent my lips from pulling so far and disappearing when I smile (because of my overbite). My lips are so naturally full that I have to be careful with the fillers so I don't look like a crazy fish. If botox doesn't help what would be recommended?
Answer: Botox For Smile/Gummy Smile Treatment In your case botox may help but it often makes the smile change since you do not have such a gummy show meaning that the upper lip may not move much after the botox. you need a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

CONTACT NOW Answer: BOTOX® may not be the most appropriate treatment option for you. Hi there, and thanks for your question. Because of the way that BOTOX® works, it isn’t likely to help with the problem that you’ve described. BOTOX® can smooth away lines and wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that contract to form those wrinkles, so if injected into the corners of the mouth to “stop” your smile from stretching out so far, it could affect the muscle movement that controls your smile. This may result in an unnatural look, which doesn’t seem to be what you’re going for. In my opinion, your lips have a lovely subtle fullness that don’t require BOTOX®.

Answer: Botox For Disappearing Lips Hi Jenny. Botox can be used to improve the appearance of a gummy smile. However, you do not have a gummy smile. Your lips are nice and full and your smile looks natural as is. To give you Botox would make your smile look unnatural. I would leave things as they are.

Answer: Fuller Lips with a Lip Lift Thank you for your inquiry and for providing photos. If you are looking for fuller, more pronounced lips with gorgeous corners and well-defined borders, a lip lift is the right choice. A lip lift is a surgical procedure that modifies the appearance of the lips through reshaping techniques. The procedure increases the prominence of the vermillion border (the red coloured area that is adjacent to regular skin). If your vermillion border is not clearly defined, it may look like your lips are either too thin, or simply a straight line with no contours. A lip lift will rectify this situation by giving you a sharp yet aesthetically pleasing contrast between your vermillion border and the skin under your nose. Fillers such as Juvederm are recommended to be used post treatments to fill your lips should it be required.(not always necessary) Hope this helped. Be sure whatever you decide to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is comfortable performing this surgery. Regards,
