I don’t know what is going on with the bottom lip area, two bulging pockets looks like muscles got irritated. Is this fat pockets underneath my bottom lip or bulging muscles? I’m in my 40’s always had a youthful look, I don’t know what is going on my lower part of my lips, it’s causing my lips to frawn and look droopy also it looks like two bulging pockets on both sides. Can Botox fix this?
Answer: Botox/Xeomin/Dysport Results--Lasts 3-4 months in new areas of treatment It’s difficult to assess from the photo. I recommend an in-person evaluation. If Botox is appropriate, it can be injected into these areas to create a softer look. The botox will essentially relax the muscles creating the appearance of atrophic muscles. The results will last up to 3-4 months hence you will have to re-inject roughly 3x per year. When administered by an expert injector you shouldn't have an issue with too much laxity. The biggest issue will be muscle weakness if you inject too large doses, which will be required in larger muscles. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Can Botox fix bulges under lip It is difficult to say from this picture as the lighting is likely accentuating the bulge underneath your lip. You would need an in-person evaluation by a facial plastic surgeon to determine whether the bulge is from muscle hypertrophy or simply fat. But, after this was determined it’s likely that this could be corrected by filler or Botox or a combination of the two. Thanks for your question and best of luck.

Answer: Muscles around the mouth Several thoughts. These muscles have always been there and we are seeing them more now. The muscles themselves may be thicker because of over use. You are either positioning your lip tighter or your grinding your teeth more. If truly thicker then a neuromodulator like Xeomen or Botox may be helpful. Also if you are grinding the teeth or have vertical tooth loss then a JUVABITE plate may help. Also the area under the muscle may be thinning out, lipoatrophy and would respond to an HA filler.

Answer: Bulging lip muscles Hi, thank you for your question. It is difficult to say if these two bulges are muscles without an examination, but given that the normal facial muscle anatomy would not be present in this location in this orientation, my inclination is that this is not muscle. It could be fatty tissue. If it turns out that this is truly muscle, the answer to your question is, yes. Targeted, limited botox injections into muscle can denervate the muscle causing it to atrophy over time. Botox is a liquid and therefore can also disperse slightly to affect other muscles in the region, thus, I would be cautious about injecting it into areas that could affect or limit your expression or oral competence. I hope this helps. Best of luck!
