Two and a half weeks in...I think my smile is looking much more natural!

Here's a pic I took to show how my natural full smile has settled in two and a half weeks later. I still think I'll go with 1 1/2 units at my touch up appointment, but I feel a bit more confident now. Best part? My clueless better half turned to me today out of the blue and said, "I don't know what it is, but you just seem even more beautiful to me in the last few weeks." He doesn't know I had my smile corrected and I plan to keep it that way!

I am not a smoker!

Wow, a lot really was lost in translation when I made my original post. It's supposed to say under the motivation part, "Gummy smile sufferer" not "smoker"! I just wanted to clarify that in case that influenced anyone's decision about having the procedure done. Thanks!

I have this same kind of smile, I did not know botox would help. I have to say observing what you see, I do not, your new smile is beautiful. I'm 58 and now and I have a horizontal line in the middle of my upper lip because of it. I had laser done to my face 6 months ago and it didn't take care of the line as well as other lines around my mouth so I'm having a redo to those areas at no charge. Also dr said he would put botox during the procedure to assist with relaxing the line. Now I'm excited after seeing how it helped relax your smile which is beautiful. I'm so self conscious about it especially as I age because it just shows too much teeth and I have a couple teeth issues that probably wouldn't be so noticeable if my smile wasn't so big. Thank you for sharing, maybe I will posts before and after photos here, I find this site very helpful.

I actually think you have a gorgeous smile with or without the treatment, though I would never say you look like the joker in your last pic. You're beautiful! Please keep us posted on how the Botox wears and what you do next!

Please excuse the grammatical errors!

I'm not sure why my spelling, punctuation, and grammar changed when I submitted my review. Unfortunately I cannot find a way to edit my original post. Thanks!

Hey, your smile looks great and natural. Maybe you're now smiling fully, without feeling self-conscious so you think your smile looks like the joker. Your before picture looks like you're a bit shy, but the after picture looks confident.

Thank you Elana, that's a nice compliment, and a good observation. No one has said anything to me about my smile being different (including my hubby) so perhaps it's mostly in my head. I feel like there is a subtle difference though around my eyes when I smile now, but obviously that's blocked out in the pictures. I do think I'll do it again when it wears off, but with a lower dose.
