Best way to get rid of smoker lines on upper lip?

Am not really a big smoker, just socially on weekends at most. That has not stoped smoker lines from showing on upper lips area. What can I do to repair besides stop smoking? Botox perhaps?

There are a variety of fillers that can be successfully used around the upper lip.

It is impossible to determine the appropriate filler without seeing the actual lines. Other possibilities include CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast – both very popular fillers for lip lines.

Also sometimes fillers alone are not enough. In that situation, laser and a small amount of Botox may be required.

Injectable fillers usually improve these lines, but do not totally correct them. Additionally, getting filler around the upper lip will not increase lip volume.  Only when the filler is injected directly into the lips do they get “plumper.” 

Fillers used around the lips generally last 3-6 months and usually cost at least $600 and can be significantly more.
