Can I get Botox in my levator labii superioris muscle so I don't get these dimples when I squint/laugh/smile strongly? (Photo)

Jubilant2471
When I smile I get dimples like this on both sides of my face and they bother me tremendously. If I smile gently and try not to let my cheeks go up they're not there. I am wondering if I can get Botox injected in my levator labii superioris muscle so that I can smile strongly as I usually do without the dimples appearing. If I do this will my mouth/smile freeze or look deformed? Thanks!
