Botox for lips?

The biggest misconception about Botox is that Botox is used to fill or enlarge lips. Fill lips Because it's not possible with botox. Lip filling is done with fillers instead of Botox. So when is botox used for lips? Botox for lips is sometimes used to corners of the mouth: what to soften or the to reduce gummy smile. This was also done a lot in the past. New insights into the cause of drooping corners of the mouth and the gummy smile have shown that these too can be treated much better with hyaluronic acid fillers.

Treating lips with botox

Treating lips with botox can be done in several cases: Botox lips: 1 the corners of the mouth If the corners of the mouth pull down slightly, a botox treatment helps. Botox gives the muscles responsible for the hanging effect rest. As a result, the muscles around the mouth relax and the corners of the mouth are pulled down less. Botox lips: 2 the 'gummy smile' In the case of a 'gummy smile', or a horse laugh, a treatment with botox can offer a solution. The muscle responsible for this can be injected with botox. As a result, the muscle slackens and reduces the 'gummy smile'.

Botox lips, the disadvantages

Treating the lips with botox has major disadvantages. Clinic Doctor Frodo does not therefore carry out a botox treatment for the upper lip. Lines above the upper lip can be soothed with botox so that wrinkles fade away. The botox reduces the visible lines of the upper lip, but also causes the activity of the muscles to decrease. HAs a result, it is no longer possible to move the upper lip normally.. And that gives an unnatural picture. Moreover, articulating is therefore very difficult and it is difficult to drink from a straw, for example. In short, Clinic Doctor Frodo treats lips very much with botox to give a “gummy smile” or drooping corners of the mouth can be remedied, but almost always with fillers. Feel free to visit the clinic for an informal consultation if you have any questions.
