Can You Botox Lips to Get a Plumper Lip?

Plumper lips will not be achieved with Botox. Botox is primarily used to relax the muscles and reduce the wrinkles around the mouth. In order to create volume and fullness for your lips, I would recommend getting fillers. Fillers like Juvederm or Restylane are the best at plumping the lip.

Botox, when appropriately injected, can correct a gummy smile by relaxing the upper lip, but it will  not enhance lip volume or size. In order to plump the lips, you would need either hyaluronic-acid based fillers or a fat transplantation (if you wanted a permanent result). When injected with precision, we can create a subtle, natural look – far from the dreaded duck-lip appearance.  

Botox is a wrinkle relaxer and can be used to enhance the perioral region by softening lines created by dynamic muscle movement.  Botox is not a filler and thus is not used to add volume to the lips themselves.  A hyaluronic acid filler is the best way to directly address volume deficit to the lip and can be used in conjunction with botox to soften perioral lines.
