I had botox to my upper lip two days ago to get rid of the smokers lines. My injector did not put a large amount, but already i'm noticing a flattening of my upper lip and it looks longer than before. Is this possible for the lip to descend with botox? I hate the way it looks and I feel like I look like a muppet. Im scared to see what it will look like in 2 weeks!
Answer: Botox in Lips Thank you for your question. Unfortunately this is a possible side effect with Botox when placed into this area. Nothing can be done to reverse the Botox. It typically wears off in 3-4 months.

Answer: Botox results for upper lip lines While Botox works well for vertical lip lines, particularly when combined with a filler such as Belotero, Restylane Silk or Volbella, it is important that a very low dose is used. I usually do not inject more than 4 units for theses lines. That being said, now that you have had the Botox injection, you will probably need to wait 3-4 months for it to wear off. Alternatively, you could have some filler injected to correct for the flattening caused by the Botox.
