My lips are incompetent so my teeth show at rest. My jaw is aligned perfectly so I’m not a candidate for a vertical maxillary surgery. I’ve been researching and I’ve read that botox can work and help lengthen my top lip?
To lower the smile line (lower vermilion level), there are two options: Botox injections or a surgical procedure. Internal V-Y mucosal advancements can be performed to lengthen the upper lip at the smile line, extending over the teeth.
By injecting a few units of Botox into the levator superioris labii alaeque nasi, the upper lip elevation can be reduced. Some individuals may not prefer this change, but it typically lasts for about 3 months. Additionally, filler in the lip can help cover the gums. It is important to note that the placement of Botox in this area requires expertise. Consulting with an experienced professional is recommended.
