can botox lift the corners of the upper lip
Answer: Yes one can lift your mouth corners with injectables! Thank you for your question and the answer is YES.Yes, the position of the lip corners is governed by a balance of muscle-lifters and muscle-downers. By weakening the 'downers' with injectables (botulinum derivatives), you will get a lift of the corners. The lift is stronger if you have strong depressors, something your injector would address during your consultation.There are 6 main muscles that pull down and which can be treated. But make sure you get an expert injector as there is a danger zone very close where you can get a complication from such as crooked smile.Some dermal fillers such as #Restylane or #Juvederm can also help the corners - the so-called marionette lines.For your information, I am a #Toronto Board-certified #PlasticSurgeon, I train doctors with injections and I perform all my injections in my 2 offices, downtown Toronto and uptown Richmond Hill. I would be happy to help!Best regards,Dr. Marc DuPere, Plastic Surgeon, Toronto416-929-9800

Answer: Botox can lift the corners of the lip Although Botox can lift the corners of the lip, it must be injected in low doses and very carefully or it can have unwanted effects on lip movement. It can be injected into the muscles that normally depress the corners of the lip to temporarily decrease their downward pull.

Answer: Can botox lift the corners of the lip? Hi there, great question. The answer is yes....BUT...and this is a big but (i realize the humor in that statement, however I will leave it in). There is a risk with this and this risk can be somewhat disfiguring. I myself have done this injection a number of times, but I've abandoned it. The problem is people have variable anatomy and if you are off by 1mm you potentially can cause your smile to be very assymetrical. It can look like one half of your mouth does no move properly, particularly when you smile. Now, of all the times I've done this injection, things have been fine, but when it doesn't go correctly, its a disaster for the patient. So for me, i decided that the risk was not worth it, regardless how small a chance. So, as mentioned, the answer is yes, but ensure you see a very confident, experienced injector. James P.

Answer: Can Botox lift the corners of the upper lip. Thank you for your question. A small amount of Botox injected into the depressor anguli oris (an area just below the corners of your mouth) can relax the muscle that pulls the corners of the mouth down, allowing for the smile to lift. A small amount of Botox can be added to the upper lip and allow for a modest lip curl. Best,
