Can Botox Be Used on Cupids Bow Area?

Injecting Botox into the Cupid's bow area will actually drop the upper lip slightly.  The best way to enhance this area is to conservatively augment it with a hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm, Restylane or Belotero.  

Hello,

Botox works through preventing muscle motion. As a result it decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles associated with facial motion. Facial fillers, such as Juvederm, create volume and would be the most appropriate for your concerns.

Be healthy and be well,

Yes, this can be done. It does not take very many units (3-7) and will last approximately 4-6 weeks. It can affect the way you use your lips. For example when drinking out of a water bottle or spitting out your toothpast.
