Will Botox in the upper lip line (lip lift or flip) lift the lip so there is more teeth show when I smile? (Photo)

Hi there,
unfortunately it is unlikely that you will gain more teeth show from a botox lip flip. The levator muscles that lifts the upper lip is located in a different area and when treated will actually cover your teeth more. the only way to gain more show on your teeth would be to do a surgical lip lift, however, this would shorten the distance between your upper lip and the bottom of you nose. that being said you already have a short distance there, so it's unlikely that you would benefit from a surgical lip lift.

Thank you so much for your question. Before I get to the answer it is always best to remember that nothing replaces an in person consultation and treatment with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Only they have rigorous training and rigorous examinations that ensure that you’re getting the absolute best. You wouldn’t want anyone other than a cardiac surgeon working on your heart and you should have same standards for your cosmetic procedures. The plan and treatment or only as good as the person performing them.

Properly placed neuromodulators like botox or dysport can help. Make sure you see board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon - only they will understand the anatomy and treat it accordingly

Good luck
