I lived in NY for a few years and my botox doctor recommended injecting the top part of my lip. It was only 4 or 5 units.. I trusted her opinion bc I didn’t know the difference...but here in SC, everyone is against it. They all have the same generic response or the complications.. I do think I saw a difference but I can’t tell for sure if it was lip filler.. also, where does botox need to go for brow lift? Is there anything around eyes to open them up??

Answer: Botox or Filler to the Lips? Thank you for your detailed question and corresponding photos. I personally prefer to use filler to enhance the lip area, in my experience the filler can have just the same or an even better effect without impeding the movement of your lips, which is what can happen with Botox in the lip area. I do inject in the lip area if a patient is requesting it or to help improve perioral lines. For a brow lift with Botox, the crows feet and the forehead have to be expertly treated together to achieve a nice brow arch. I recommend seeing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon or expert injector in-person to discuss your concerns and goals. At our practice, we also provide consults via FaceTime or Skype for patients who live outside of NY. For more information, please visit our webpage.

Answer: Botox Lip Flip? Find a Real Expert to Use Botox Around Mouth I’m sorry you’re having trouble finding an expert to help you in South Carolina. Botox is great for a nonsurgical brow lift, which would open your eyes. Most doctors won’t want to use Botox around the mouth because it takes a very light hand and a real knowledge of anatomy. My office is in Charlotte, NC, and I’d be happy to consult with you by Skype. I hope this helps.
