    I don't know any of the above, but IMO botox is not going to be that different once you get it from a reputable clinic. I'd be looking for someone with a medical background so they understand the anatomy of the face. Think Nurse Practioners, Dentists and Doctors.

    When I hear botox, I vision those stupid puffy duck lips and alien eyes. Ugh! It does have it's uses and can work when used in moderation.

    Is there an alternative to botox you considered OP?

    Do you even know what botox is? It doesnt go in lips (unless you want to achieve change in the size of your lips, but purely to lose the power of speech)

    I guarantee you loads of women who you see every day and who look perfectly normal get botox. When done well, the difference should be extremely subtle, just reduction of wrinkles and slightly fresher.

    Of course botox is used in lips. Hence my stance on the idiotic fad. As I said, It does have it's uses and can work when used in moderation. Otherwise, it's a hideous look and no idea what the appeal is.

    No, its not. Botox is not a filler. Its a relaxant, it doesnt give volume whatsoever. It basically paralyses muscles so if you got it in your lips, you wouldn't be able to move them. Lips fillers are dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane, totally different products.


    Perhaps refrain from commenting on topics you seem to know less than nothing about.

    @SozBbz is correct, the puffy lipped look you refer to is down to fillers. Botox is used to relax muscles, e.g the forehead.

    Not sure how this relates to the OP's query, please keep on topic.
