Botox and fillers around the mouth can create a natural and more youthful effect.
Both filler and botox are good options for treating lines around the mouth. Both need to be used delicately in order to make sure that the treatment looks natural, but when done well these are both excellent solutions for the problem. If there are a significant number of wrinkles even at rest (when the mouth is not moving, filler may be necessary for an optimal cosmetic result.

Botox and juvederm or restylane for upper lip wrinkles
Botox can be used off-label to carefully inject tiny (1 - 2 units) of Botox per site in the two differenet sites of each upper lip, and the same of the lower lip. Superficial, thin, non-viscous fillers can be injected into the individual lip lines but I have been successful injtecing dilute fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm, diluted with lidocaine anesthetic, horizontally under the lip lines to make them less visible. This is done carefully with very small aliquots of filler per site,...

Upper lip lines (smokers lines) are treated fairly well with combo of Botox and Filler
Probably the most common treatment of lip lines in my practice is the combination of dermal fillers (Restylane or Juvederm) and Botox. I like to treat this area using blunt cannulas in a horizontal fashion and no "chase" each individual line. A promising new treatment which I'm starting to try is laViv for smoker's lines. This uses one's own cells (fibroblasts) to create collagen to give a long term improvement. Stay tuned.

Best treatment for lip wrinkles - fillers and botox vs more permanent techniques
The best treatment for lip wrinkles is to add volume to the lips and resurface.
For volume, hyaluronic acid fillers work best for temporary filling.
We prefer autologous fat-fascial grafts ILiveFill) for lip augmentation over fat injection in our practice, but both are widely used for a more permanent result.
Botox can be effective in very small amounts, but remember that the lip is functional, and too much Botox can literally make patients drool or interfere with speech.

Fillers and Botox for lip lines
Yes both Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm can be used to address upper lip lines. I routinely use both for this purpose. Botox can be good to ease the "pursed" lip look and even slightly evert the lip to appear slightly fuller with fewer lines at the border. Fillers are great here to soften deeper lines and impart a more youthful appearance to the lip. I might also suggest a consultation with an experienced laser surgeon to see...

Fillers or Botox for the Upper Lip Region
Fillers and Botox can be used very successfully in the upper lip for the vertical lines. Sometimes several visits and treatments give a better result. The best thing you can do for yourself is to have a consultation with a qualified facial cosmetic surgeon that you trust. We have many happy patients that have received upper lip injectables.

Can I Have Filler or Botox Above the Lip Line As I Have Wrinkle Lines There?
Botox, Dysport or Xeomin all work well, IMHO, to reduce vertical lip lines. I have used neurotoxins for this purpose for well over 17 years. There is a limit to the amount that can be injected at any one time and experience is need to avoid over weakening of the muscles around the mouth.

Injectable filler treatments may be used to minimize the appearance of upper lip vertical wrinkles.
I read your concern:
Upper lip wrinkles may be softened by a well performed Injectable Filler treatment provided they're visible and deep when you're not pursing your lips. Delicate wrinkles that are not visible at rest are not well suited for fillers. This may be a tricky area to improve as the injection should be intradermal, or into the skin. If you have several treatments where the filler is placed deep to the wrinkled skin, you can get a full, unattractive appearance of your...

Fillers and Botox for wrinkles about lip
Fillers are often used in combination with Botox or Dysport for upper lip wrinkles. However, Botox and Dysport work by decreasing muscle movement, so they need to be used with great caution around the mouth. Lasers such as the Active/Deep FX are often very helpful for lip lines, or perioral wrinkles.

HA filler is a much better option for the lip than BOTOX.
Jenny
There just is no substitute for an actual personal examination by a very experienced cosmetic surgeon. You might do great with fillers. I would advise caution with lip edge BOTOX as it can excessively weaken the mouth.

Filler best
This is a very common problem, particularly in smokers and sun-worshippers. In my opinion the best solution is injection of an HA filler such as Juvederm. This works best since the injection is done very superficially directly beneath the wrinkle. I also like to inject some filler (just a small amount) all along the junction of the pink and white (vermillion-cutaneous junction) in order to break up the wrinkle as it crosses here and to prevent "bleed" of lipstick...

Lip lines best treated with dermal fillers
Many patients are troubled by fine lines above the upper lip. Long term smokers seem to have a higher incidence of these perioral wrinkles. Although some plastic surgeons will treat these lines with small doses of Botox Cosmetic, I think dermal fillers such as Juvedem Ultra or Restylane are much better options. Dermal fillers help to correct these worrisome lines in two ways. First, they add volume to the upper lip, correcting the overall loss of volume which can be...

Fillers into marionette lines
I recommend injecting Juvederm into the marionette or smoker's lines by an experienced physician injector. Injecting Botox there can cause the lip to fall or not work correctly which can result in you not being able to speak or eat properly. Consult with an experienced physician, but I would recommend Juvederm for this area.

Filler or Botox for wrinkle lines around the mouth
Yes, you can have filler or Botox. Our skin is naturally thin around the mouth and the mouth muscles are very sensitive to Botox, so your doctor needs to take "baby steps" when injecting fillers and Botox in this area. When working around the mouth, I frequently tell my patients that it may take 2-3 sessions with Botox until the patient and I have found their unique recipe. Once that is established, then it's time to use a filler..if needed.
