Can I use BOTOX to reduce my Cupids Bow? (Photo)

Hi,as has been pointed out, many clients come to us asking for lips like yours.Try to adjust your feelings about them; and enjoy them.No amount of experience can accurately predict an outcome of botox that will meet your expectations.hope this helpswarm regardsprashant

The Cupid's Bow is not an area that you can predictably Botox.  I would suggest if you want fuller lips then I would try having some Restylane or Juvederm injected into upper lip.  Please let me know what you decide to do.

Using BOTOX in this area takes a great deal of experience. I might try 3 to 4 units on each side of the phlitral lines..

The shape of your cupids bow is predominantly determined by anatomy, not by muscle action.Botox will have very little effect. You may try strategic placement of a filler, since you were looking to enhance your lip volume anyway.

Dear Kelley,Your cupids bow is formed by the combination of connective tissue and muscle.  Botox may help diminish the bulk of the muscle but it will take some time for this to occur.  The good news is that it will take very little botox, perhaps 5 units or so, each session.  It will take sessions every 3 months for perhaps a year.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta

So many people would kill for a cupid's bow like this! A small amount of Botox - injected by a greatly skilled injector - might help a bit. But honestly, cupid's bows are formed by muscle AND connective tissue, so the Botox will only help the muscle relax. Mostly, I think you should remember that millions of people are trying to get a cupid's bow just like yours and you should try to embrace it!

It is possible to reduce the bulk of the Cupid's Bow, but it will take time.  You would need to have very little Botox on each visit.  If too much Botox is used, your upper lip may not move as readily as it does now.  This is not a permanent problem, but it is much better to use little each time and go  for several visits.
