Will Radiesse help with smoker's lines?

I agree with Dr. Lupo that Radiesse would be a poor choice for this area.  I would go with one of the hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane, Juvederm) or collagen (Cosmoderm/Cosmoplast).  A small amount of Botox 2 weeks prior to the filler injections would be ideal.  For long-term improvement in these lines, consider a deeper chemical peel or ablative laser resurfacing.

Good luck.
