Cheek fillers created lines on the sides of my mouth. How can I get rid of these lines? (Photo)

Question

I recently got botox and cheek filler. I now have lines on the sides of my mouth which has aged my face. I have gotten these procedures done before (about a year ago) with no issues. I am not sure why I have these lines now after my recent procedure (see photos)

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I'm sorry to hear about the lines you've experienced after your recent cheek filler and Botox treatments. This can sometimes happen due to changes in facial dynamics or filler placement.

Here are a few options to consider:

Follow-up Consultation: It's important to revisit the practitioner who performed your procedure. They can assess whether the filler placement contributed to the lines and recommend adjustments.

Filler Adjustment: In some cases, adding a small amount of filler in strategic areas can help smooth out the lines around your mouth.

Filler Dissolution: If the lines are due to excessive filler, using hyaluronidase to dissolve the product may be an option, especially if a hyaluronic acid-based filler was used.

Non-Invasive Treatments: Treatments like laser therapy, radiofrequency, or ultrasound can help improve skin laxity and reduce the appearance of lines.

Skincare Regimen: Incorporating products that enhance collagen production, such as retinoids, might help improve the skin’s texture over time.

I recommend discussing these options with your provider to determine the best approach for your specific situation. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out to my office at 305-902-5733.

Best regards,
