Botox and fillers for lines with animation

Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD answers: Fillers or Botox for lines showing only when laughing or smiling?

My laugh lines are only apparent when I smile or laugh. Is it still ok for me to use Juvederm or Restylane, or do I have to use Botox?

Botox is great for lines on your forehead and around your eyes whenever you laugh or animate these areas.  However, if you use fillers for lines that only occur with animation, you may be able to see small bumps when you aren't moving those parts of your face.  Check out some before and after pictures before trying either one.
