I have a female student that has lip fillers/Botox <EMOJI seq="1f92f" tseq="1f92f">🤯</EMOJI>
She already had this before starting on trombone so knows no different re feeling in the lips etc.
However, of course she struggles to get a decent sound and clean start to the notes and is quite frustrated.
She has said that she would like to get the filler dissolved which might help with any luck <EMOJI seq="1f340" tseq="1f340">🍀</EMOJI>
Anyone else have any experience with this?
She is a great musician already and teaches Violin and Piano.

20 years ago I tried botox for the creases between my eyebrows.
It did NOTHING. Zero visible effect, even though that is the classic case for botox.
My research prior to that indicated that a botox treatment is good for maybe six months at most, then you redo it. But if you have done the same treatment many times the effect may become permanent and not reversible.
I had not heard of it as a lip "plumping" treatment, but yeah... i read it has some effect to cause the lips to turn out and appear as if they were larger.
But the mechanism of botox is to weaken the muscle it is injected into. That would be highly undesireable for a brass player, I imagine, as the lips are pretty much all muscle. I guess she needs to wait for it to wear out.
Like-wise for any physical filler that was injected, although[url=https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/22133-lip-fillers]that sounds longer duration.
