Lip Augmentation with fillers like Restylane and Juvederm only make wrinkles better.

Many patients have asked this same astute question over the years. The good news is we do not see a worsening of lines after the fillers resorb.

This has certainly been the experience in my practice and in my own lips. ENJOY!

Hello and thank you for the question.

These fillers can also stimulate the production of your own collagen which can give an even longer lasting result. I have never seen an instance where... more

Lip Augmentation does not cause further wrinkling

Fortunately, lip augmentation, whether done for volumizing the lips or for better defining the lip margin, does not lead to further wrinkling once the product has dissolved. It may even help lines around the mouth (mildly) when present. You're correct in that it should be a hyaluronic acid filler or collagen rather than radiesse, sculptra, or a permanent filler. HA fillers and collagen have the right "feel" and consistency to achieve the desired result in the lips. As... more
