What Is The Injection Depth of Restylane at the Lips? 3 Months Later I Still Have Vertical Lines.

Hi @jlosc. The filler must have been placed too superficially. I recommend dissolving the product with Hyaluronidase. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Restylane is used to fill or plump up lips - and help with the surrounding lip lines, IF injected correctly into the vermillion border. You shouldn't really have lumps, but a smooth plane of product. Following up with your provider should provide you with some massage and/or additional product to help reduce the lines.

This depends on what you want to accomplish.The vertical lines usually lower dermis and if you want to augment the soft tissue then in a plane just below the dermis.

Sometimes restylane is used for vertical lip lines.  This has to be done very carefully.  If too superficial it may need to be dissolved.

Restylane is supposed to be injected into the mid dermis.  If it is injected too superficial, then you can see lines in the area.  The good news is this can be erased with hyaluronidase.  Hyaluronidase dissolves the restylane and once gone can be re-injected into the right area.  Dr. Halem
