Wrinkles of the upper lip

Bryan K. Chen, MD 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.

I would consider a resurfacing procedure (laser or chemical)to address the fine lines around the mouth. There is, however, some down-time associated with such a procedure (approximately 7 days). The procedure would be even more effective if you were to have a few units of Botox injected to the lip 2-4 weeks prior to your resurfacing procedure. Good luck.
