Can Botox lift my upper lip?

Hi and thanks for your question.  The best way to lift a lip is surgically.  I would need to see your photos, but a sub nasal lip lift would reliably, predictably permanently lift your lip.  I would be happy to see you for a consultation as my office is in the Philly suburbs.  Good luck.  Dr. Pontell

Botox cannot lift the upper lip, but tiny amounts can "roll out" the lips. Silicone implants and injections fail in time and have pretty bad complications some times forming granulomas. I would suggest lip injections with a dermal filler like juvederm or restylane. Have a formal consultation for best results.

Yes botox can indeed lift the upper lip, this is called a "lip flip". Botox is strategically injected into sections of the upper lip to relax the muscle fibers enough to flip the lip outward without affecting the function of the muscle. Keeping in mind this is not adding volume as say dermal filler would. It is creating an illusion of a fuller top lip. This Treatment doesn't work on everybody but is reasonably cheap to give it a go. We only use a small amount of botox to do so. 

Dear Samanthamorrow:
Botox and Dysport when used in minute amounts at the proper depth and muscle sites of the upper lip can provide an upper lip curl and edge without the use of filler. 
Filler on the other hand is useful to fill, firm and spread lines of the lip. There are quite a few available and depending on their use have better improvement for:
general volumizing or specific uses such as:lip lines, vermillion lines, philtral lines, white line, corners, projection and other very specialized techniques. Please consult with a very advanced and skilled Board Certified Plastic Surgery injector who understands the anatomy, injection techniques and assets versus the limitations of each filler and muscle relaxer. Silicone, by the way is rarely used and should be questioned if offered. 
I hope this is helpful. All the best!

Botox cannot lift the upper lip. It is possible to use cosmetic fillers like Juvederm or Restylane to enhance the lips, to turn the corners of the mouth upwards, to improve the border of the lips, to increase the cupid's bow, etc, etc. Silicone is not used anymore in 2017 as it has too many dangerous risks. Make sure you have an in person consultation with  a board-certified, MD, with training in facial plastic surgery or dermatology.  Avoid non-doctors and nurses, and avoid "deals" or "specials" -- you want the best results for your face -- pick an expert and save up for a proper budget for treatment and you should give yourself the best chance for a beautiful outcome,. Make sure you and your surgeon are on the same page as far as your "lip goals." Good luck.

If done properly Botox can give what is called a lip flip and it looks like the upper lip is lifted. Silicone should never be used as an injection anywhere in the skin. It is not approved and can have side effects even years after it is injected

Botox can be used in the lower later chin region to prevent the lower lip from descending.  Silicone should not be used as a facial filler because of the known complications associated with it.

Wrinkle blockers (Xeomin, Botox, Dysport) can lift the outer corners of the lips and can gently roll them outward a bit.  For those with a gummy smile they can help the lip not rise up so much showing the gums with smiling.  Dermal fillers are the safest injectable material to add fullness, improve symmetry, and improve the lip appearances.  Other substances that are permanent are not safe in this area and can cause granulomas and other issues.  Seek a qualified and properly licensed physician or injector under a physician's supervision for the safest and most optimal results.  Best regards.
