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 & Fillers Work Well For Upper LIp Smoker's (aka Bar Code, Lipstick Bleeding) Lines While I certainly understand your concern and sincerely hope that the problem you are experiencing does not worsen over the next several days, your question does raise some very important issues worth discussing.

Answer: Other Options for Smokers Lines--Laser, Radiofrequency, fillers Unfortunately, you will have to wait 3-4 months for the Botox to dissolve. However, Laser or radiofrequency, microneedling/prp and fillers work well to reduce these lines. I suggest going to a facial contouring expert who injects fillers with cannulas to reduce complications. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Botox Unfortunately after botox is placed you have to let it run its course. It will take 4 months for the neurotoxin to wear off. In the meantime, I would say you can look at trying to enhance your red lip volume with a filler. Hope this helps

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.
