Hello Missnataleigh,Botox will not help for lip augmentation. We use Restylane or Juvederm in the lips. We do use Botox in the upper lip to relax the muscles responsible for contributing to smoker's lines.
Normally an injectable filler like Juvederm or Restylane is used to fill lips as opposed to Botox. Botox is used more for softening vertical lines around the lips or to raise the corners of the lips.
For Botox of the upper lip it will take 2 to 4 units. Your very first time visit at our faclity the Botox is $10.00 per unit. Reg. $13.00 per unit. So for 4 units on your first visit it would be $40.00.
I agree with most of the others here. Please be cautious of getting Botox into your lips. While some have reported fair results in getting rid of vertical lip lines, there is a significant risk of lip weakness (which is much more unattractive than the lines).Botox is a great medication when used correctly - but there are likely better choices for lip augmentation.
Botox can be used on the upper lip as a non-approved use for the vertical lines. Botox doesn’t plump the lip. You would need a filler for that. Botox can be used to affect the muscle of the skin-colored upper lip (moustache area, not pink lip) to minimize a “gummy” smile. There are some other unusual techniques as well, but I’m not aware of plumping the lip with Botox.
