Botulinum Toxin Therapy (BOTOX)

[lan123]

I want to share a great experience I had with Botox injections in the area above my upper lip. I went to a clinic called Personal Touch Med Spa in Myrtle Beach, SC. My sister had gone there recently to have Smartlipo with Dr. Diane Duncan and decided to get additional Botox injections as part of a "med-spa" package. Not only does she look great from the Smartlipo, but she has an amazing result from having Botox injected in the area between her nose and upper lip.

I decided to visit Dr. Duncan while vacationing in Myrtle Beach, and I'm happy to report that I also got great results from Botox in my lip area! I actually have an upper lip and can use lip liner!

My sister and I suffer from the "chicken lip" syndrome, a.k.a., no lips! We both hate the look of fillers in the lips and have never understood the whole fish lip/Angelina Jolie wannabe thing. So when it was suggested that I might be able to increase the volume in my upper lip ever so slightly with a small injection of Botox above the lip, I decided to try it. I felt very confident in Dr. Duncan's skills, based on my sister's results from her Smartlipo procedure and the Botox injections. The results are awesome!

Not only did it smooth out some of the icky "smoker" lines above my lips, but also it pulled up the center of the upper lip just enough to actually have what Dr. Duncan calls a "cupid's bow."

It seemed like a scary area to have Botox and it takes a very skilled and experienced doctor to apply the right amount, in exactly the right area. I have read so many awful stories about Botox parties, Botox in the shopping center, and even Botox shots while you're getting your hair done! Don't do it! Got to someone you know is good, based on credentials and other people's personal experiences and results.

I hope this is helpful.
