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: 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
