The face is the frame for oneâs teeth, which makes surrounding wrinkles like an unsightly frame around otherwise well kept or restored teeth. Botulinum tox A (Botox®) is an important tool in correcting problems with the âframeâ around the teeth. Dr Lee offers a variety of solutions, including but not limited to the examples below.
Botulinum can also be used as therapy for disorders involving excessive jaw tension, teeth clenching, facial muscle spasms, and TMJ problems. See case 4 below.
Case 1: Correcting forehead wrinkles gives a more youthful appearance.
 |
 |
| Heavy forehead wrinkles | Freckles remain, but not wrinkles |
Case 2: Correcting glabellar wrinkles removes the angry, scowling look.
 |
 |
| Severe glabellar wrinkles | Younger, more relaxed appearance |
Case 3: Botulinum injection can reduce excessive upper lip movement that causes a gummy smile.
 |
 |
| Smile shows too much of the upper gums | Corrected smile shows normal proportion of gums |
Case 4: Large jowls causing the âchipmunk faceâ can be reduced in size. Because the jaw muscles have built up substantially over time, this correction will require larger doses of injected botulinum for a successful outcome.
