Can you use botox to relax overactive muscle near nose?

User Avatar
markdanielsnyderMay 27, 2017

One side of my face has deeper naseolabial fold becuase when I talk, yawn, sing, anything - that side lifts up alot more. The muscle next to the nose on that side is particularly strong. Can botox be put in there to relax that muscle a little bit, and stop the over-deepening of that side's naseolabial fold?
