Hello , I have a crease around my mouth that bothers me a lot. I'm afraid that HA filler in this area will just add more volume to my lower face, can it be treated with botox? Even when I pull my skin up, this crease is still showing.

Answer: HA Filler Directly To The Nasolabial Folds Can Soften Their Appearance Although, in general, sophisticated, experienced filler injectors no longer "chase wrinkles" by simply direcrtly filling them up (and instead use fillers in the appropriate anatomical locations to achieve the most optimal results), there are instances where it is still best to address the wrinkle or fold directly. True, for the most part a robust HA filler in the cheeks will not only create a more desirable oval, heart-shaped face, but secondarily soften the smile lines. However, as apparently is the case here, where augmenting the cheeks with a robust HA filler risks making the face too wide or full-looking, it would be more prudent to use a cohesive, low viscosity HA filler directly injected into the smile lines to soften their appearance. The use of Botox in this area is not generally recommended for this location, since it may affect the ability to smile normally. You would be wise to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.

Answer: Botox For Nasolabial Folds Thank you for your question! It’s likely that you’d benefit from dermal fillers to lift the area and soften the appearance of your nasolabial folds. An in-person evaluation is ideal to determine the best course of treatment for you, and during your consultation, an experienced injector will be able to decide if you should be injected within the smile lines themselves or in the cheeks (or both!). Hope this helps!
