How can I rid horizontal lines between eyes? Fillers or lift? (Photos)

Question

Ever since I was a child, I've had horizontal lines across my nose bridge. It is too early to say that it is a result of old age, considering I am a young college student. I am here to ask if fillers or a lift would be better to resolve this issue. Also, how can I prevent further sagging? And what could have lead to this issue?

This can be improved with Botox. Botox results last 3-4 months in new areas of treatment. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The horizontal lines you refer to are mimetic lines, not from age. Botox can be quite helpful, and occasionally a good superficial filler can be added if need be afterwards. Most importantly, make sure to have a highly experienced and trained physician injector such as a dermatologist to optimize safety and results.

Peterson Pierre, MD · Answer

Those lines are probably the result of many years of frowning. These types of lines aren't age-related but depend on the way you make your facial expressions. They are best addressed with Botox which will relax the muscles in the area and can result in complete effacement of those lines.You should consult with an expert in facial aesthetics, such as a board-certified dermatologist, to maximize results while minimizing side effects.

Thanks for sharing your question and photos. Horizontal lines on the bridge of the nose are usually related to contraction of the procerus muscle and can be treated using a neuromodulator such as Botox or Dysport.
