If you’d like to transform your smile without surgery, Botox is a great alternative that can give you some impressive results. Botox injections contain a neurotoxin that can relax muscles and ease wrinkles. There are several ways that Botox can enhance your natural smile. Here’s how.
## Fuller Lips Without Fillers
Do you want a poutier lip and a fuller smile? One of the most popular Botox treatments this year is a lip flip. You don’t need filler to give your lips a subtle enhancement. Here’s how it works. When you inject a small dose of Botox into the muscles of your upper lip, these muscles relax ever so slightly. These muscles usually pull down on the upper lip, so more of your lip is hidden when you smile. A lip flip can flip your upper lip outwards and upwards, so your lips will appear fuller. You can see results without filler or a lip lift. 
## More Teeth, Less Gums
If you’re self-conscious when you smile, Botox can help. It’s the perfect treatment option for a gummy smile, where your gums are very visible when you smile. A gummy smile can be caused by muscles that pull the upper lip upwards when you smile. Botox relaxes these muscles, so you won’t have an extra pull on your upper lip when you smile. Your smile ration will be more teeth and less gums, giving you more to smile about. 
## A Friendlier Face at Rest 
As we age, our skin starts to lose its elasticity. Certain areas of the face may start to sag or drag downwards. The corners of the mouth can pull down and give you an unapproachable look when your face is at rest. You can combat this natural frown with a small dose of Botox. It’s injected into the muscles in the lower face that are fulling down the corners of your mouth, allowing your mouth to float back upwards.
## Smoother Skin Around Your Mouth
Do you have smoker’s lines around your lips? These vertical lines are caused by many years of puckering your lips, either when smoking, sipping through straws, or pursing your lips in stress. These wrinkles are also caused by muscles, so Botox can help. Injecting Botox in strategic spots around the mouth, these muscles start to relax, decreasing wrinkles around the upper and lower lips. 
## Improving the Texture of your Chin
Botox can also help smooth the skin on your chin, giving you more confidence in your appearance. The muscle in your chin can cause pebbly skin, orange peel chin, or pitted chin. Whatever you call it, this dimpling or bumpy texture on the chin can make you frown every time you look in the mirror. Botox can relax this muscle to stop the contractions that dimple the skin. Smoothing our your chin will help you focus on your smile.
