Which muscle was this Botox applied to? (Photo)

Asked By:chesymoon in Hatay, Türkiye

I have a lip like the one in this image, and I was examined by a plastic surgeon. If I'm not mistaken, he injected Botox into the levator labi superior muscle, but there was no improvement as in the image. I just couldn't move that area, but there was no change in shape. Do you think the treated muscle should have been different? I will see another doctor.
