Lines next to lips - is there any way to fix this? (Photo)

Question

I got juvaderm vobella lip fillers three different times, the last time being over 1.5 years ago. After the last round, I started to notice this prominent line next to my mouth, more noticeable on one side than the other. I recently got the fillers dissolved in two rounds, but the line is still there. I was told using filler to fill this wrinkle can make it worse. I’ve been trying miconeedling. Is there any way to fix this line? It’s all I see when I look in the mirror.

Wrinkles around the mouth are best treated by ablative treatments. This would include dermabrasion and CO2 lasers. These treatments remove the top layer of skin and allow it to rejuvenate, removing fine wrinkles. This treatment works best around the mouth.

Hi these Accordion lines can get worst with incorrect placement of thick fillers Bio stimulant filler like diluted radiance filler together with Co2 deep laser would be an option for you

Irregularities around the corners of your mouth is not uncommon.
Sometimes these are referred to as peri oral mounds though they often have slightly different locations. These contour irregularities are poorly understood and inherently difficult to treat.
It is usually not related to a volume excess or deficit, but rather tension from contraction of muscles of facial expression and connective tissue.
These contours can develop and evolve overtime.
It’s not necessarily related to your previous previous fillers.
Fillers may be helpful, but as you mentioned, Kan also make things worse.
The problem is not related, and therefore, volume augmentation is often not the treatment of choice.
 I think this condition is difficult and complex and may not be quality treatment that will be consistently successful. 
Best,
