I have marionette lines, lip lines, and wrinkles all at once! What's the best wrinkle fillers to get rid of these lines!?
Answer: Juvederm is my favorite wrinkle filler When we graduated medical school, our professors told us "primum non nocere", first don't harm people. I interpret this as meaning that the treatments we give our patients should be safe. I am proud now that the reports of granulomas with Artecoll and Radiance are surfacing that not one single patient of ours has ever been injected with that substance. Now that silicone horror stories are well-known, not one patient has ever been injected with silicone in our office. While many patients will continue to be injected by the newest fillers with non-natural components such as methyl methacrylate beads, plastic spheres, liquid silicone, silicone gels, we will not inject them in our practice, because it simply does not make sense to put a permanent or semipermanent non-biologic material into the face in my opinion. I am impressed with the safety and effectiveness of hyaluronic acid fillers. Prevelle is a lighter hyaluronic acid with a little lidocaine in it for sensitive patients or patients with little or no recovery time. You can see by the posts that occasionally the heavier hyaluronic acids such as the Juvederm series and Restylane or Perlane, wonderful fillers which we use daily, can cause swelling for several days, so this should be factored for patients who are on camera (i.e. newscasters) or have important social obligations immediately following their injections. So while you can argue which is the best filler, please avoid the bad ones.

Answer: Treating multiple aging symptoms at one time Thank you for your question. One of the most challenging aspects of pesky aging symptoms is they can seem to appear quite suddenly and often simultaneously. The good news is you can address all of these concerns in a single treatment session in most cases. Injectable fillers work very well to smooth away lines in the lower half of the face, including marionette lines. I might suggest Juvederm or Restylane for this area, although there are other options as well. Lip lines, also known as perioral lines, can be treated with a smooth injectable filler like Kysse. If lines are severe, laser resurfacing might be a better option. Finally neuromodulators are used to diminish lines that occur as a result of repetitive facial movement. All of these procedures could be performed together so you only need to schedule one appointment in most cases. I recommend scheduling a consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can examine you in person and create a customized treatment plan that meets your needs and goals best.

Answer: Improving facial wrinkles / lip lines with fillers, Botox, Sculptra, Ultherapy, RF treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP Wrinkles and lines can be improved with a combination of Botox and/or fillers for the lines themselves and to build anatomical support with Sculptra for collagen building. Ultherapy is a great skin tightening device, but works best in combination with other treatments like RF treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP or sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improve skin tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Sudden lower face lines Unfortunately, at some point, usually after 35 years old, we start noticing these lines after years of facial animation. I always believe that area needs to be addressed slowly and with the thicker fillers in the marionette lines and naso-labial lines, with the thinner fillers in lips and surrounding area. It really should be a process with gradual improvement as that lower face can look too full if injected with too much filler too quickly. Progress not perfection is my motto.Best of luck,Dr. G

Answer: Best filler Hello and thanks for your question. The best type of filler will be a hyaluronic acid based filler. These have the lowest rate of complications and are reversible if they need to be. They also have a very high safety profile. Please ensure you only have FDA approved brands injected and ask your injector what they are going to use

Answer: Fillers The fillers that I like the best for marionette lines, lip lines and areas around the mouth are Restylane Defyne and Restylane Silk. I like to use Restylane Defyne for the marionette lines. It is smooth and flexes with facial movement so that you do not see the filler. I like to use Restylane Silk for lips and fine lines around the mouth. It is a very smooth filler, with less lumps and bumps. You should visit a provider near you that does fillers to see what the best options are for you to meet your goals.
