Will the fractional laser for mild to moderate upper lip lines hurt the implant? (Photo)

Question

I am considering the fractional laser on my upper lip lines. However, I have had a small size lip implant for many years.

Mark Beaty, MD · Answer

Fractional laser is an excellent treatment for vertical lines around the upper and lower lips.  I consider this the gold standard treatment for the particular concern you have.  It will not have any effect on your lip implant.

Laurie A. Casas, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question!  Fractional laser is a great choice to help improve fine lines and wrinkles and rejuvenate your skin.  Laser will not have an effect on your lip implant.  We do recommend that you use Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar for 2 weeks before and after your laser treatment for an improved result.

Thank you for your question.Laser treatments are fine to proceed with, they will not do anything to the lip implant.

John L. Burns Jr., MD · Answer

A fractionated laser will not hurt the implant.  Upper lip or smokers lines are very difficult to treat.  A combination of filler such as Volbella and a resurfacing procedure such as a fractionated laser work very well in combination.

Jeffrey Joseph, MD, FACS · Answer

Thanks for the question.   If your implant is something such as acellular dermis, fat or other “live” tissue, I wouldn’t think it would be a cause for concern.
