Many options for wrinkle fillers

Steven Wallach, MD answers: Best wrinkle filler

I have marionette lines, lip lines, and wrinkles all at once! What's the best wrinkle fillers to get rid of these lines!?

There are so many good line fillers available today, that no one specific filler is the best choice.  Autologous fat, Radiesse, Juvederm, Restylane all can fill the nasolabial folds.  The lips can be treated with all of the above except for Radiesse.

I prefer the more “forgiving” non-permanent fillers that are made of hyaluronic acid, or HA. Examples of HA fillers include Juvederm and Restlyane. They fill in the deep furrows and wrinkles of the face very nicely and are not permanent, so if you don’t like the look that you have gotten with them, you are not stuck with it.

They tend to fade away by about 6-8 months, and provide a soft correction of wrinkles, as opposed to some of the permanent ones that can incite scar tissue formation under the skin.

Radiesse is a nice filler that lasts a longer than the HA fillers and is used primarily in the nasolabial folds, but some say it feels more firm.

A: Restylane is the best wrinkle filler for fine lines

To I.P.,

Hi!  I don't think you want another lecture on fillers.  So, reading your question very carefully, I conclude that your marionette lines, lip lines, and wrinkles are NOT very deep.

For more superficial lines, Restylane is the most forgiving (least likely to give you bumps), and so it is the one I use.  And it lasts 5-6 months.  Injection technique is very important.

Also bear in mind that there are other non-invasive treatments for lines and wrinkles besides fillers which might help you.  Botox is very useful, and Thermage can be, for the right anatomy.
