Can Sculptra Be Injected Above the Top Lip?

Anneliese,
Upper lip lines can be very nicely reduced with a few units of Botox and if needed either Restylane or Juvederm. Alternatively, you can have them resurfaced, but personally, I never liked the swelling, pinkness etc that followed resurfacing of this area.
As regards Sculptra, it is meant to fill in large areas such as the cheeks. Although suppose it could be used in the upper lip, it may be associated with pouty over sexualized or worse, duck lips, so I would not use it there.
Good Luck.

I am a trainer for Sculptra and Sculptra Aesthetic. Most of the problems with visible nodules and papules have come when Scuptra was used in the lips or lids.
Because it is a deeper filler and more for bulk enhancement that wrinkle removal it is not a good choice for lines about the lips.
We have always found that lines do best with lasers or chemical peels. Currently we use the Mixto because it is usually effective in one treatment. (We have retired our Fraxel.)
