January 23, 2011
Asked By:Calgary7571 in Calgary, AB

Have tried botox injections on inside of cupid's peak and on outside. Have heard mixed reviews on best place (and amount) of botox to inject. Suggestions? I am considering having surgery to permanently take care of line (ie. cutting of depressor nasi septi muscle), recommendations for doctors in Canada who do this?
