Does everyone get a weird sensation in their upper lip after Botox to correct a gummy smile? (Photos)

Since you appear to have had a nice improvement in your gummy smile despite not having any unusual sensations, I would take that as a success and enjoy your result. Most patients don't complain of any strange sensations with treatment of a gummy smile, and since you appear to have had a nice result, I wouldn't recommend doing anything more at this time.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

Hello, this is a beautiful result five days out! You did not need to feel a “funny feeling” in order to achieve optimal results. As injectors, we advise the risk of a different sensation because we are reducing muscular movement to this area when injecting Botox. Some people have a heightened susceptibility to this, while others have no effects. Six units is an adequate dose and by the looks of the photo, you achieved a great clinical outcome.

Your results look great so far and I do not think you'll need or want to do more. And yes, you're right, give it the 2 weeks to assess. You do not need a weird feeling or a different feeling to mean it is working. Ideally Botox will not make anything or your smile feel different. It is just relaxing the pull of those muscles to allow your upper lip to not come up as much when you smile.
