Can a filler - such as juvederm change my smile shape? And will it look natural?

Lynn24
When my face is relaxed, my mouth looks slightly frowny..and when I smile, my mouth is straight. I would love to have a natural, turned up smile. I think I have great teeth, but my smile is ugly and I hate having my picture taken because of it. I always look like I'm in pain or mad...and I hide my face away from people when I laugh. Can a filler help change your smile shape? Or what can I do to change it? And can the muscles around my mouth become paralyzed if the needle is done incorrectly?
