Question

I am hoping for the most minimmaly invasive procedure. Would Botox, juvederm, or restylane be an option?

Kevin G. Rose, MD · Answer

You look like you are a great candidate for fillers.  Juvederm would be the best option to increase the fullness in your lips.  You can also inject at the corners of your mouth to help your mouth turn up instead of down.  Juvederm will last on average 8-12 months.  It always best to seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area.

The issue, is lack of volume and support, Fillers and Botox can offer that to you. If they work and you like the results, you could consider fat grafting.Good LuckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

I think a combination of fillers to support the corners of the mouth, and possibly into the cheek bones to lift the skin can be quite helpful. As well, possibly some Botox in the DAO muscle can be used. Both juvederm and restylane can do a great job on this, best to chat with your dermatologist as to the best options for you.

Sheldon S. Kabaker, MD FACS (retired) · Answer

Fillers, Botox, or a corner lip lift can improve the situation. A corner lip lift is a minor surgical procedure where a triangle of skin is removed above each  corner of the mouth. It results in a permanent elevation of the corners of the mouth and a fine usually non-detectable scar.
