A: Botox or Dysport in or near the lip

By Ronald Shelton, MD - Manhattan Dermatologic surgeon

A small amount of Botulinum Toxin may minimize the vertical wrinkles of the upper lip. It is not recommended for musicians that play wind instruments or professional singers as there might be difficulty pronouncing certain letters initially.

A: Botox & Dysport can be used for Lip Wrinkles

By Tanveer Janjua, MD - Bedminster Facial Plastic Surgeon

The fine vertical lines on the lips respond to a combination of the fillers like Restylane or Juvederm and a very small dose of Botox or Dysport in the wrinkles.

A: Botox for Lip lines

By Richard W. Westreich, MD - Manhattan Facial Plastic Surgeon

Although I hear often about this being done, I do not personally recommend or perform botox injections to the lips themselves. As noted by the other physicians, this can produce problems with speech articulation and facial symmetry. I find that mild lines are well treated with volume fillers. I personally like... more

A: Fillers are much better for feather wrinkles on lips

A: Botox and Dysport are interchangeable for most areas

Since the active molecule is the same with both products, in general they are interchangeable. A few things to keep in mind though: the lip area is "off-lablel" for both products, which doesn't mean that it shouldn't be used there but it can't be promoted by the manufacturers for that.

A: Botox for feather wrinkles on the lips

By Alan M. Gardner, MD - Atlanta Dermatologist

I do not use Botox around the mouth. I feel that you get a more natural look using Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm, and other fillers that are more made for that area. In my opinion, the Restylane and Juvederm are the best fillers for the fine feather lines on the upper lip.
