Can fillers take care of vertical lips lines? And if so, what one would you suggest?

Excellent question. Vertical lip lines are a common concern and required a multi-factorial approach to treatment as they are among the most stubborn lines on the face. Botox or Dysport can be used to soften contraction of muscles that form lines, microneedling and laser treatments can improve texture of skin and finally filler can be used to restore volume to vertical lines. Restylane Refyne has been an outstanding product for this treatment as it is flexible and allows for superficial injection without tyndalling or irregularity.

Thank you for your question. Fillers can be a good treatment choice for vertical lip lines, known as perioral lines, for the right patient. The treatment is quick and does not require downtime afterward. Results are apparent right away and may last for six months or longer depending on the specific filler used. The key is to work with a very experienced, board-certified injector with the expertise to create a smooth and natural result. Another option for perioral lines is laser resurfacing. This nonsurgical treatment uses laser energy to boost collagen levels and create smoother, more youthful skin. Deeper treatments do require some recovery time, but improvements can last many years. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon for a full assessment and a treatment plan tailored to your precise needs and goals.

They can be softened with fillers. Typically, multiple techniques are used including Botox, fillers, and possibly skin resurfacing (retinol, laser, peel, etc.)The foregoing information provided is not intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, it is provided for educational purposes only.

For the cutaneous lip, fillers can help with modest vertical lips lines. I like to combine with neurotoxin. However, if the lines are more severe and the upper cutaneous lip is very thin, getting great results is much more challenging. In this case, we may combine our filler treatments with microchanneling with PRP, ultherapy, laser.

Hi there! There are lots of methods of treatment for vertical lip lines mostly dependant on their depth. Peri-oral or smokers lines - when only superficial can be improved with anti-wrinkle injections / when they deepen or visible when not moving the muscles - filler can be placed carefully in the area to soften deeper lines. Hope this helps! Best wishes, Dr Rupert

You can fill in the creases with temporary fillers like collagen ($450/cc) or hyaluronic acid fillers like juvederm, restylane, elevess ($550/syringe) or you can put in a permanent implant in the vermillion border or ridge of the lip which is very natural looking and undetectable ($1500). That tends to be one of the best solutions long term. You may also want to resurface the lips by dermabrasion, laser or chemical peels ($750-1000 roughly) or even inject botox ($300)

We used to use Collagen injections and still like it for very superficial lines. The disadvantage is that it lasts only 3-4 months. The advantage is that since 2/3 of it is water, it won't make it too large or bumpy. It also costs less. Since we do a large number of actresses who can't afford to have a bump on their face this is our choice for them. For everyone else (who doesn't want resurfacing) we like Juviderm since it lasts up to a year, though it costs more.

Hi! Yes filler placed correctly in this area can help to smooth out vertical lip lines. I like to use a cannula with a soft spreadable product like Juvederm Volbella.

Hello and thanks for your question. Depending on the depth of the lines, filler can do a nice job softening lines around the mouth. Juvederm Volbella would be the product of choice in our office , if lines are on the more severe side, juvederm vollure can also be utilized. Both fillers are hyaluronic acid gel lasting up to 10 months. If you were to be unhappy with your results, this type of filler can be dissolved. Depending on the providers preference, filler can be injected directly into the line or perpendicular to the line. Botox should be done to help maintain results and prevent new lines from forming. Hope this helps!!

Fillers can help with vertical lip lines! I would recommend Volbella as these lines are superficial; anything too thick can be seen through the skin or can look like a ridge of filler defeating the purpose of it. I would also recommend small amounts of botox to help soften the muscles that create a pucker as this will help long term.
