Ā Yes. You have what is known as the “gummy smile”. Because you also have full lips, you are a candidate for a tiny amount of Botox into a certain muscle called the levator superioris labii. This is the muscle that lifts the central upper lip when you smile. It could flatten your lips a tiny bit, so the fact that your lips are already full makes you a better candidate than if your lips were thin and flat. Try it with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in this tricky injection.
Ā You may have a full facial the next day after Dysport or Botox. Within 90 minutes, the purified protein that makes up Dysport (or Botox) is bound to the neuromuscular junction and cannot be moved or diffused.
