Is it possible to use Botox to prevent the smile from turning downwards without affecting upward smile?

Asked By:Jessica Kay

Sorry I can't upload photos, I will try to describe in detail. I find myself tightening the chin area when I'm nervous and also making frown faces I don't want to make. My mom has a permanent downward smile (heavy mouth corners) and I see this happening on my own face as I get older...I would like to prevent this! But I also love my smile and don't want to ruin that...
