Why do I have these corner dents above my lip? Can I put filler there? (photos)

Question

When I smile I have small lines/dents above the corners of my top lip. They cast a shadow and make it look like I have a mustache. Looks weird, I haven't seen anyone else with lines there. They arent there when my face is at rest. Can I put filler there?

Michael A. Persky, MD · Answer

Hi bv,I would treat you with Restylane Defyne in your area of concern.  This filler should correct the problem and look natural as it is considered a filler for facial expression.  Facial fillers are not a commodity and results are dependent upon your injecting physicians skill, experience, knowledge, and natural artistic vision.  Choose your physician carefully.  Good luck and be well.Dr. PEncino, CA

Yes, this area can be treated with filler. I would use one of the newer generation flexible gel HA fillers like Restylane Defyne.
