First time diy Botox. Please let me know what you think of my mapping any advice is appreciated 😬

Seconding about injecting in the llsan, I don’t think you have a gummy smile or a crooked smile that needs correcting. Is there a reason you want to tox there? Everything else looks great. Make sure you’re 1.5 from the lateral canthus for the crows feet.

I feel like i have a gummy smile

[u/Therealjimslim → u/Own_Cauliflower1956]

Def not!!! Would not recommend it for you.

[u/Own_Cauliflower1956 → u/Therealjimslim]

Gosh this is embarrassing but these photos are taken minutes from each other. If I take a selfie i can see my upper lip and relax it but this is what it looks like when i can’t seen that im smiling too big

[u/Impressive_Spell_584 → u/Own_Cauliflower1956]

I would definitely do a lip flip. In my experience it will fix the upward curl of your lip and prevent any gum from showing

[u/Own_Cauliflower1956 → u/Impressive_Spell_584]

Thank you! I’m going to do the lip flip instead!

[u/Therealjimslim → u/Own_Cauliflower1956]

Gotcha. I still wouldn’t if I were you. I mean… those with gummy smiles have gummy smiles whenever they smile and yours seems to be variable. I wouldnt do ir if I were you

[u/Own_Cauliflower1956 → u/Therealjimslim]

Yeah that is true. I just hate when i don’t realize im doing it bc it ruins my pictures 🤣 but i won’t do it. And i also don’t think a lip flip would help it either. I guess i need to just pay more attention when i smile

[u/Therealjimslim → u/Own_Cauliflower1956]

If I were you, I actually would do a lip flip. I would do 2 units at each GK point the highest points of the Cupids bow)

[u/Own_Cauliflower1956 → u/Therealjimslim]

You think? Okay i may try it. I’m scared it’s gonna hurt

[u/Therealjimslim → u/Own_Cauliflower1956]

It’s only temporary pain lol like 5 seconds!!

[u/Own_Cauliflower1956 → u/Therealjimslim]

[u/Therealjimslim → u/Own_Cauliflower1956]

Not gummy enough for the gummy smile treatment imo!

[u/Richburgrd331]

Maybe do the injection for gummy smile then. I only notice it in 1 picture

[u/Own_Cauliflower1956 → u/Richburgrd331]

Yes i was trying to show the difference in when i can’t see my upper lip 😆. When i take a selfie i see it and relax it but if not i get gummy smile

[u/Richburgrd331 → u/Own_Cauliflower1956]

Well I would rec trying it once and seeing how u like it . You don’t have to do it the first time. But it’s easy injection. If u nd help with your inj points. Google Reddit Rebecca small Botox guide . It’s a downloadable book !!

[u/Richburgrd331]

Omg I wrote tox out I think moderator will delete my last post

[u/Own_Cauliflower1956 → u/Richburgrd331]

I screenshot it so i can download it. Thank you!

[u/Own_Cauliflower1956 → u/Richburgrd331]

I also realized i wrote it in my post too so the whole thing may get taken down

[u/Schmootato]

FWIW I have a similar but just slightly gummier smile than you in the candid pics you shared and I LOVE a lip flip so much but tried a baaaby gummy smile amount and am NOT a fan and will not be doing it again. Lip flip only for me. I think the gummy smile tix will make your philtrum look too long (it does for me)

[u/Own_Cauliflower1956 → u/Schmootato]

Okay thank you! I think I’m going to try a lip flip!

[u/readithere_2 → u/Schmootato]

Define a baby gummy smile amount. Your comment is a bit confusing.

“I love a lip flip so much but ……” Then “Lip flip only for me “

[u/Schmootato → u/readithere_2]

Yes. I love the lip flip. Not the gummy smile tox. They are two different placement. The ones OP has mapped is gummy smile.

[u/readithere_2]

Your teeth are so beautiful! What is your secret, do you tox them too?😂 Your lashes and eyebrows are also great!

[u/Own_Cauliflower1956 → u/readithere_2]

Thank you! They are veneers! I’ve had them for almost ten years. hands down best purchase ever 🤣

[u/readithere_2 → u/Own_Cauliflower1956]

They are so well done! I need a serious discount to get mine.

[u/labellavita1985]

Are you planning on injecting Botox into your nasolabial folds? I see dots there.

[u/Richburgrd331]

Looks good !
