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?

Hi @connolly110! This was an excellent question. More wrinkles do not appear once tear trough fillers have worn off. Your skin will just return to how it looked pre-filler.

I will politely disagree 100% with your doctor.  I have been using fillers for over 18 years and have participated on the launch of several HA products and so understand the science as well as the long-term effects.  To say that they may not be safe is ridiculous.  While various cross-linking ag...
