Hello:) Can Botox correct nose widening when smiling, cause the corners of my nose moves not only into sides, but also goes up. Nostrils become very big and I look angry when smiling. Also, a harsh wrinkle forms between nose and upper lip when smiling, it evens hurts a little bit. But won't Botox create even worse smile? I am also considering lip lift surgery. Could it soften that wrinkle when smiling as there will be less skin between nose and lip? :)
Answer: Treat dynamic wrinkles with Botox The wrinkle you are describing is a dynamic line that appears when you make certain facial expressions. This is the type of wrinkle that can be effectively treated with Botox injections that target the muscle that creates the wrinkle. Botox can also be used to minimize the appearance of nostril flaring when you smile. The best results are all in the correct dose of Botox! It requires a small amount of the medication placed just right to achieve the desired result. Make sure you work with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist who is also an expert Botox injector to ensure an optimal outcome.

Answer: Facial Sculpting Candidate -- Fillers, Threads, Fat Transfer, Implants, See an expert It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Botox for Nostril Flaring and Lip Lines Botox, and other neurotoxins, can be strategically placed to manage nostril flaring and lip lines when smiling. Botox can be a safe and effective treatment when in the right hands and you'll have improvement for 3-4 months. However, this is a tricky area and it requires expertise for a good result. You can maintain your results with retreatments. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist who can provide a formal assessment. I would start with a conservative approach to these injections, as the musculature of this part of the face is in constant motion and too much toxin will affect natural movement.

Answer: Botox for Nostril Flaring and Lip Lines This is a great question. Botox ® can be placed strategically to manage nostril flaring, as well as lip lines when smiling. I advise you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, who will provide you with a formal assessment. Botox ® in the right hands will help you achieve your goals without worsening your smile. From your photos, I can see that you may not need a lot of Botox ®, which is good news. During the consultation with your dermatologist, I recommend discussing a conservative approach as the musculature in this part of the face are very dynamic, and the Botox ® needs to be strategically placed. You can always add more units as you go.

Answer: Botox to Correct Nose Widening and Upper Lip Wrinkle Dear AngelAng,Excellent photos! Yes, strategically-placed Botox can soften/eliminate the flaring of your nostrils when you smile as well as the horizontal wrinkle that appears on your upper lip. As with anything involving your face, please see a board-certified physician who does a lot of injectables and knows facial anatomy very well. A slow approach is key (less is more. . . then, adding a bit more after approximately 2 weeks, if needed). You definitely do not need a lip lift. The proportions of your lips and the area around your mouth are perfect. Hope this helps!Dr. Kiripolsky
