Can Botox prevent my chin from elongating when smiling? (Photos)

elizabeth15lew
My chin looks perfectly fine and proportionate when I’m not smiling, but when I do smile, my chin elongates significantly and looks too long and pointy for my face (see photos). Would Botox injected into the mentalis muscle prevent my chin from doing this when I smile?
