Lips won't close when relaxed. What are my options? (Photo)

Question

My lips won't close when relaxed. I have to force them to close and it forces my chin upward. Also , the angle between my nose and lip isn't angled y feel like my lip looks pulled upward . What are my options to maybe lower my upper lip down?

Thank you for sharing your question.  You may be able to have botox carefully placed into your chin to improve your lips ability to close and if you have a "gummy" smile it could also be used to address it.  Hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question. I suggest you get an in person evaluation from a very qualified medical professional to discuss your concerns and goals. That being said, Botox might help if done by a very experienced person and if injected correctly and in the right place. Best of luck to you.
