Botox for smoker’s lines? (Photo)

July 18, 2023
Asked By:Molly Mae in Los Angeles, California

I have mild smoker’s lines (however Not from smoking) on my upper lip which has also lost volume. One Dr recommended Botox, where another said even a small amount of Botox in the upper lip can cause issues with mouth movement. I am not a candidate for laser. I’d love to hear if the best result does come from botox, or filler, and if filler, which one specifically, and I’d like to add in a bit of volume- very little. Thanks in advance!
