Fillers and skin resurfacing

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD answers: Radiesse for lip wrinkles?

I have had Juvederm for Lip augmentation. The thing I hate about it is the bruising that comes along with it.

I am very fair (Irish blue/white fair) and it takes up to two weeks for the bruises to go away. I just don't have that much time to stay hidden until the marks go away.

I am looking for something to just eliminate the wrinkles on the top of my lips. I am, and always have been, quite fond of the natural shape of my lips. Just hate the wrinkles.

Radiesse is a good filler for nasolabial folds, i would not inject it in the lips for fear of lumps. You will also have a lot more bruising with the radiesse. I would recommend a combination of resurfacing with laser or peel inaddition to a hyaluronic acid filler.For the bruising, we give arnica BEFORE the injection day. Best of luck!
