Please see the attached photo. I’ve never had anything done on my face aside from facials and chemical peels on occasion. These lines around my mouth make me look permanently sad. Should I get fillers, laser, lift? Please advise.

Answer: Volumizing Fillers Work Well For Marionette Lines A full face photo would have been extremely helpful for determining the potential contribution of volume depletion in your cheeks to the formation of the marionette lines. If there is insuficient volume in the cheeks, then reflating them appropriately with a volumizing filler may provide sufficient secondary improvement in the droopy corners of the mouth to obviate the need for treating the angles directly or possibly reduce the amount needed to do so. If there is sufficient cheek volume already, then directly treating the angles with a volumizing filler--a process that in experienced hands should take no more than about five or ten minutes to perform--would be in order and typically yields an immediate "Wow!" reaction. In my NY office, I would opt for Restylane Lyft for the angles of the mouth. In my Israel satellite facility, where a far greater number of regulatory agency approved fillers are available, I would choose Hyabell Deep for this purpose. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician and be certain to ask to see his/her personal before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.

Answer: Laugh Lines / Nasolabial Folds - Fillers + Sculptra, Lasers like Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, Radiofrequency, Peels, Skin Care 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
