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: Botox, Then Filler For "Smoker's (Lipstick Bleeding) Lines" There are two components to most facial wrinkles; the dynamic component, i.e. the movement of the muscles below the skin that lead to scrunching and pleating of the skin above and a static component, i.e. the creases etched into the skin after years of repeated movement of the muscles of facial expression. To address this, a neuromodulator, such as Dysport, Botox or Xeomin, when injected properly, can quiet the underlying muscle--i.e. address the underlying cause of the wrinkles (in this case the smoker's lines) and following that an appropriate filler can be used to elevate and smooth the creases that have been etched in after years of daily muscular movement. You would be wise to make sure to consult with an experienced board certified cosmetic dermatologist injector. Hope this helps and best of luck.
