What is the best way to get rid of the horizontal line above my lip? (photo)

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting,  and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Unfortunately, there is no way to completely get rid of the line. Botox can be used to help soften the line and reduce the movement when smiling. I would probably stay away from filler there as it can make you look to full in that area.

Hi, Neurotoxin injections (Botox) can help to smooth out the line that you have.  If the line persists after giving the toxin a few weeks to work, a filler, such as Volbella, may help to decrease the crease.  Hope this helps!

Scott Moradian, DO · Answer

Botox or Dysport, can help to temporarily. Results last about 3-4 months. For deeper lines, a filler such as Volbella can help as well.

Thanks for your question. A neuromodulator like Botox or Dysport could be used to soften this line.
