I have always had a little wrinkle in my lips, but now in my 40s, it’s getting worse. My lips always seems to look and feel dry. I was thinking of getting fillers to fill in the lines but I’m worried about them drying out. Fillers pull water and I’m concerned about the moisture being pulled from the surface. Will fillers dry out my lips? Any other suggestions?

Answer: Filler and dry lips Hyaluronic acid fillers do attract and attach water molecules, which may have the added benefit of moisturizing your lips. Discuss with your treating provider on the different filler types and goals that you would like to achieve.

Answer: Fillers will not dry out your lips Hello and thank you for your question. Lip treatment with a soft hyaluronic acid filler would actually help rehydrate as well as restore lost volume to help minimize the lines. Some Hyaluronic acid fillers pull more water than others, but they wouldn't dehydrate the tissue that they are placed in. An experienced injector will examine your lips and take note of the consistency, which is the way we decide which filler to use. I hope that helps! Dr. Amanda Maloney, FRCS(C)
