My teeth show more on one side and my upper lip covers my teeth on the other side so I want my lip to be lifted on this side so my teeth show more and my smile looks more symmetrical. Is that possible from botox on the upper lipline on the side where lip in droopy to lift it upward? Or will it make it more dropped?
Answer: Options for asymmetry in the lips: Is a Botox lip flip possible Neuromodulators like Botox are sometimes used to lift the corners of the mouth to bring up the corners of the lips. It can also be placed into different muscles to "flip" the upper lip slightly. However, another option in your case might be lip fillers to address the asymmetry and add some nice fullness to the lip. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced injector who has the expertise to create a customized treatment plan that will address your concerns and produce a natural result.

Answer: Botox Your option would be to have a gummy smile treatment with Botox, which is Botox to help lower the lip to match the other side. We would not be able to place Botox to lift the lip upward. With the other side of your lip being lowered slightly it would make your smile symmetrical. Hope this helps!

Answer: Lip flip botox for teeth show 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.

Answer: Asymmetric lips 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
