A free trial of Botox came with my Natrelle implants. I was thinking of getting it put in my lips. I am young so I am not concerned about wrinkles yet. Is it ok to use in my lips or should I consider using the Botox for another purpose?
Answer: Botox is not for lip enhancement Botox doesn't enhance the lips. Botox works by weakening muscle activity and by weakening muscles the wrinkles that they cause become less prominent. Botox doesn't add volume to an area. If you are thinking about making your lips fuller you should consider a filler. Restylane and Juvederm are nice fillers for lip augmentation. They are done in the office and offer immediate results with minimal downtime. If you want to improve the lines on your forehead or around the eyes use Botox. But you'll need a filler to make your lips fuller.

Answer: Botox is not used in the lips Hi MS. Botox would not be used for your lips. It may be used in certain cases like when a patients has fine vertical lines above the lips (smoker's lines) but in your situation, it would not be appropriate. Botox is more commonly used between the eyes, in the forehead or at the sides of the eyes, Ask your surgeon if you are a candidate for these other areas and good luck.

Answer: Botox for lip enhancement? Botox is used to reduce or soften repetitive muscle contraction. It is used to reduce wrinkles caused by muscle contraction in areas such as the upper face or around the eyes. It can be used to reduce upper lip lines so called "smoker lines" but will not plump your lips. A filler such as Juvederm is very effective for lip shaping and plumping. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Botox For Lips Botox does not help increase the size or shape of the lips at all, if anything it can cause the muscles around the lips to decrease function and impact your ability to smile and chew. It is sometimes used for the upper lip lines, but at your age, there is little reason for this and the results are minimal compared to using filler -- something like juvederm, restylane or belotero. Seek a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon with experience in treating aging around the lip. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.
