Can Botox Lift the Upper Lip?

April 17, 2009
Asked By:n2betterskin in Ms

My top lip seems to droop more inward near the corner of my mouth. I've had Juvederm injections, but that one part of my lip still turns inward. My dermatologist told me that a little Botox in my chin would turn the lip up like its supposed to look. Will this work?

Answer: Botox does not lift the upper lift; it does relax the downward turning of the corner
