Hi , I’m 53 and have noticed one side of my lip pulls in more than other. I have a few small scars above lip and this is why. Would smokers line filler or lip filler be best to sort this out. Or Botox ? I like the idea of filler as it lasts longer, but worried the scarring would make it look odd. Thank you
Answer: Lips With your deep lines, you will need more than filler. I would suggest starting with plasma pen or CO2 laser to treat your deep lines. You may need up to 3 treatments. Whatever if left then can be filled with filler if needed.

Answer: Smokers lines I would not only treat the lines by iltself, because I have to build up structure, so I would use a lowe G" filler to give your lips just a little plump and to mantain the shape, then i would do a blend between an HA based filler called skinbooster, a very low G" filler and botox (but in a differente dilution), because usually what patients complaint about more when they have botox on the lips to correct and/or treat smokers lines, is that the y dont smile the same. With the blend you wouldnt have an issue with that and usually it last quite for some time, maybe 8 - 12 months

Answer: Smokers line filler Hello, and thank you for your question. If one side of your lip is smaller than the other, I would recommend focusing on either lip filler or using neurotoxin for a lip flip. Lip filler will last longer and there are specific techniques that can be used to lengthen the height of the lip. You could also fill in the smokers lines as this would create a very uniform result. If you decide to choose neurotoxin for your lips, this helps to flip the top lip outward but can only last about 6-8 weeks. I would recommend scheduling a consult with a provider who specializes in dermal filler and neurotoxins to determine which treatment option is best!

Answer: Consultation Regarding Smoker's Lines Treatment Options Both dermal fillers and Botox can be effective in addressing smoker's lines and lip asymmetry. The choice between these treatments often depends on the specific characteristics of the lines and the overall facial anatomy.Dermal fillers, like Juvederm or Restylane, can add volume to the lips and smooth out wrinkles. They can also be used to correct asymmetry. However, the presence of scars can sometimes affect the outcome, and this is something that needs to be evaluated in person by a professional.Botox, on the other hand, works by relaxing the muscles around the mouth, which can help reduce the appearance of smoker's lines. It's a slightly different approach and might be an option if the lines are primarily caused by muscle movement.The best way to determine the most suitable treatment for your specific case would be to schedule a consultation with Dr. Anna Chacon a board-certified dermatologist, who can evaluate your lips and scars in person and discuss the possible treatment options with you.
