I’ve had it a couple times! Rubbing lips together for balm or lipstick is my only real challenge lol
Because it’s Botox, not filler, it affects that little muscle in the top lip, so it feels a teeny bit like after the dentist and your lip is numb! Not nearly as extreme but it’s the only comparison I can think of. It’s not a super visible difference either, likely only you will notice. It really helps keep your lip shape when you smile big, instead of top lip kinda naturally thinning out.

Thankfully it wasn't expensive. I'm glad it worked for you, Swanks!
This was my first experience with Botox when I was 28. It definitely didn't flip my lip, but that isn't what I hoped to accomplish. I was hoping to smooth upper lip dehydration lines, which are hideously referred to as "smoker's lip," although I have never been a smoker. I couldn't drink from a straw for a few months.
Yes, I love it! I initially requested botox in that area because I purse my lips a lot and had wrinkles above the lip. The added benefit is no wrinkles there and a more plump lip! It does fade faster than botox on your forehead because you use the muscle so much.
it’s fun to have an upper lip when I smile.
