Botox treatment for your lips
Botox can be placed around the lips and mouth for a variety of purposes. Consider, for example, asymmetry of the lips, a gummy smile or hanging mouth corners.
There are several reasons for putting botox on the lips and mouth. However, it depends on your specific indication and wishes whether botox is a suitable treatment for the results you are looking for. Because botox, also known as botulinum toxin, has a muscle-relaxing effect, it is a suitable treatment for correcting asymmetrical lips, a gummy smile or drooping mouth corners.
Do you suffer from asymmetrical lips? We can often solve that very nicely. If the asymmetry is caused by the difference in the volume of your lips, we can best correct this with a lip filler treatment. However, it could also be that the asymmetry of your lips is caused by muscles that move differently independently of each other. In that case, we can use botox at the lips to relax one muscle a little more so that the asymmetry becomes less visible.
We can create the same muscle-relaxing effect with depending on the corners of the mouth. These are often caused because the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth down are (too) strong. By poking botox around the mouth we solve this problem, making those strict puppet lines a lot softer.
Finally, we can prick botox at lips if too much gums are visible when laughing. In this case, the botox also has a muscle-relaxing effect here. The muscles that pull the lip too far when laughing, relax thanks to the botox, so that less gums are visible.
Botox for the lips is not always and for everyone the treatment that will give the desired result. For example, are you looking for more volume in your lips, do you want a clearer lip contour or do you want to do something about smoker’s lines? Then a lip filler treatment will be a more suitable alternative. We will of course think along with you and are happy to discuss the possibilities with you. Feel free to schedule a no-obligation consultation for personal advice for your lips.
