I noticed on women who get facial fillers such as Radiesse or Restalyn around the mouth area seem to sometimes have a "joker smile" look....how do I avoid this? I have had fillers in the past but i didn't experience this effect, maybe because I didn't have too much injected??? If I go to a different doctor I want to make sure I don't end up with joker smile....first person that comes to mind is Meg Ryan. (Sorry I love her but she's got too much work done, in my opinion)

Answer: Joker Smile Causes
The Joker Smile is the sign of an inexperienced injector. As a physician gains knowledge and critically evaluates their results, they avoid the tell tale signs of filler placement. Stay with a physician who's main career is aesthetic medicine and avoid the fly-by-night spas. You will happy that you did.

Answer: Avoiding Joker Smile After Fillers
In my opinion, the best way to avoid a bad appearance following soft-tissue fillers is to have the treatment performed by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in the use of soft-tissue fillers (e.g. Juvederm and Restylane) and neurotoxins (e.g. Botox and Dysport). Communicate with the doctor what you would like to improve upon and communicate what you want to avoid. I think that people get in trouble when too much product or products are used. Some people might utilize Botox or Dysport to treat the depressed corners of the mouth. This helps to relax the depression of the corners that some people have. Then a filler can be used soften the depression as well. While small amounts of neurotoxins and fillers can give a pleasing, relaxed appearance, too much of these products can cause an unnatural appearance. The same can happen in other areas such as the forehead or lips. Good luck.
