I have done a tox lip flip successfully several times with no problems. But this time it’s different (maybe because I’m using a new tox). I did two units each just above each “hump” of the cupids bow, two units at each point above my lip where the edges of my nostrils align, and one unit each about 1cm from the edge of my mouth. I also did two units at two points below the pillows of my lower lip.

Is it normal that after tox lip flip I’m having a difficult time pursing my lips when using mouthwash but my lips do not appear to be “flipped” and the smokers lines wrinkles are still very noticeable? In other words, I seemed to receive the problems without the benefits. Is there any way to fix this?

Hi future applicants. I wanted to share this spreadsheet I made that you might find helpful. It lists all the APA-accredited PsyD programs in the United States and all the factors you should be considering when you’re trying to figure out where to apply to and what offers to accept (objective and subjective). It’s color-coded by type of program (clinical, counseling, school, etc.). I listed them in descending order by EPPP pass rates, but please keep in mind these are the 2025 pass rates (You will have to look up the 2026 pass rates and plug those in once they’re available.). It’s a locked spreadsheet (because so many people have used this and it would be chaos if I unlocked it!), but you can copy it and use it for your purposes. I added in some details about some programs as an example.

Bottom line: Don’t go off of hearsay about what the “best” programs are. Do your own research. Take all factors into consideration, not just what the “stats” are and what people say are the best programs. What would be a good fit for you wouldn’t be for someone else. Your preparedness prior to application will help you choose the best program fit for you and then hone in on what the particular programs you’re looking at will want in a candidate so you can guide your interview answers accordingly.

Wishing you all great success this coming application round. Don’t forget, the field needs you!!!!

I tried Coretox for the first time after having used only Innotox and Neurovie. I did my forehead, glabella, crows feet, DAOs, lip flip, and masseter muscles (to correct over pronounced area on one side due to TMJ). I had high hopes for Coretox based on people’s reviews but I’m not so sure I’m happy so far. I injected five days ago and so far, this is what I’m seeing:

The good or neutral:

-Masseters are now even (effectively shrunk the over pronounced side)

-Forehead seems almost smooth, a little movement still which makes wrinkles pop

-Glabella is frozen but seems slightly uneven

The iffy:

-Crows feet have not responded at all so far, in fact they seem worse, maybe because previously I had lifted my brow which doesn’t seem to be the case now

-Upper lips look…weird. They look fuller and it seems difficult to purse them when using mouthwash - BUT the smokers line wrinkles are SUPER NOTICEABLE

So here are my questions: Is this normal that some areas haven’t kicked in at all while some are completely frozen? Does anyone know why I was able to make my upper lip actually ”flip” but the wrinkles are still bad?

As you can see, my lips are very asymmetrical. They weren’t like this when I was younger and it’s making me sad because I used to love my lips. I think it’s due to my TMJ and the facial shift that has occurred, one side of my face is significantly flatter (which I was able to correct with filler). But, the problem is that the left side of my lip hangs lower than the right side and it’s a totally different shape. I tried the Botox lip flip, it only helped to a degree (maybe because I injected both sides equally?). I think that has worn off by now, so I tried it again injecting a little extra on the lower side (one unit on two points on higher side and two units on the same two points on the lower side). It hasn’t taken effect yet. I tried some moderate (fine) filler but this only made them project further over my lower lip instead of become more symmetrical (even though quite a bit more filler was placed in the lower lip). I also tried PDO threads (screw) to lift the lower side but it didn’t work. Help!!!
