Botox for Embarrassing Lip/philtrum Tremors - How Does It Work?

User Avatar
silvershade
When Im even slightly nervous and feeling self-concious my philtrum/upper lip will tremble quite badly (plus I also have a double lip deformity that must be fixed-see my previous question). This has made me avoid talking at times and ruined my social life completely. Ive read somewhere botox can help, but, I'm afraid of a few things: my upper lip 'drooping' and paralysis/stiffness of the upper lip that will affect my speech and not show my upper teeth. please help, I need to fix this ASAP. thanx
