I had Botox a second time for gummy smile. The first time, 8 units were injected close to my nose in 2 spots. This time, 8 units were injected across top of my lip in 4 spots (diff Doctor). It has been 1 week and I can't drink through a straw, whistle, pucker my lips, or rub them together. No change in my smile! I want to know if where I was injected this time will help with my smile? Will I notice a change in my gummy smile or must I wait to get Botox injected closer to the bottom of the nose?
I had BOTOX done to hide gummy smile however it lengthened and flattened my upper lip way too much making me look like I've aged bigtime. I feel my upperlip disappear every time i smile and area above upperlip is too flat. Would adding fillers to my upperlip help??? I had a beautiful wide smile. I feel I can't smile anymore and I look ridiculous smiling in pictures!
Hi last time we did a lip flip I got this horrible line above my lip. This has happened to me two times where we have placed the lip flip in different spots, but along my lip line. Where should we place the Botox instead of along my lip to avoid the second smile line, and get rid of my gummy smile? Should we place The Botox under my nose are in my Yonsei spots instead?
I've seen two procedures advertised for correcting a short upper lip and gummy smile. A lip flip where botox is injected at four points, two on the left and two on the right at the lateral vermillion border. And gummy smile botox with injections on either side of the nose. Is one placement better than the other? Do they achieve different things?
The right side of my upper lip tugs down a lot when I speak and smile. Im wondering what procedure would help to straighten it out, I dont think lip fillers will give me the result I want. Could DOA botox be the best option? Or something else entirely? It feels muscle related
I'm on day 5 after having my upper lip injected for a gummy smile. 6 units total. I have ZERO weird or uncomfortable sensation that I was told I would definitely have. It appears, from pictures, that my upper lip has lowered some. Does it just take longer to kick in around the mouth? Basically, because I have no weird sensation, I'm feeling like this didn't work and am left wondering, should I have them do just a tiny bit more? Obviously I'll wait the full two weeks to see final results.
