I am looking at injectables to temporarily fix a 'gummy smile' (before looking at more permanent solutions) If I get injections to stop my upper lip from raising too high, will this mean I won't have the full function and movement of my mouth? And will it therefore interfere with the use of my mouth? Eating, drinking and kissing being concerns. Also will talking be more difficult?

Answer: Botox with eating and kissing? Botox with eating and kissing?Thank you very much for this important question. Botox can affect eating and kissing in that sometimes you cannot purse your lips as tightly as before the Botox injection. However, generally speaking small doses are applied to the lips to such a point that the risk is minimal. I think you should discuss this issue very carefully with your injector and consider all of your options before deciding to have treatment.
