Hi, filler is an excellent way to camouflage fine and deeper lines around the mouth. Depending on the depth of the lines, a layered approach using a filler like Restylane for the deeper volume loss and then using a more flexible filler like Restylane Silk or Belotero or Volbella can be used on the superficial fine lines.
Hi rosell!There are a number of treatment options for smoker's lines. For deep lines dermal filler is certainly an option with a number of suitable products available depending on your skin type. Dental blocks can be used to numb the area prior to treatment to minimise any discomfort. Other options that can be used alone or in combination with dermal filler include the use of laser resurfacing prior to treatment to enhance effect (depending on your skin characteristics).I recommend booking a consult with a local, reputable physician for assessment and development of a personalised treatment plan. All the best!Dr Scott.
Dear rosell:This is a common problem that can be treated with one of two fillers developed specifically for this issue, Volbella or Belotero. However, the best results are seen with approaches to permanent correct the lines in addition to temporarily filling them, such as Ultherapy, Pellevé, or microneedling with PRP.Topicals that immediately but temporarily fill and smooth the lines can give you an instant improvement while you are waiting for more permanent results from the treatments. These include CuraPerfect and Teoxane RHA serum.All the best, Dr. Clark
Fillers are a great option for smokers lines above the upper lip. I prefer to use a Restylane Silk or Volbella for smokers lines. They can also be used to augment the volume of the lips. The prices of these fillers vary based on the city where you live and type of practitioner providing the injection. Hope this helps.Ziyad Hammoudeh, MD
Dear rosell:In addition to lasers and Exilis, fillers like Teosyal Redensity II and Volbella can be used for deep smokers lines of the upper lip. Best wishes.
The best combination to treat these lines is to treat them as if they are "scars". A combination of lasers such as Fraxel and fillers like Volbella are the best way to treat these lines. I treat these wrinkles every day and this is the best way to reduce them. Please consult an expert in lasers and cometic injections to treat you. Best, Dr. Green
Thank you for your question. Dermal fillers are great options for perioral wrinkles. Combining dermal filler with Botox, laser skin resurfacing, platelet-rich plasma and radio-frequency treatments will give you the best result. I recommend seeing an expert for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. Best of luck,
In both of your pictures you are smiling, which increases the visual length of the upper and lower lip and "thins" them out. With our lips closer together, like the Hailey Baldwin photographs you included, lip fullness is accentuated. In general 1cc of filler (Juvederm, Volbella, Restalyne), if...
These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. Implants or fat are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
A medical professional such as an aesthetic nurse or a plastic surgeon is the safest option. Their experience will be a great indication of the results you can expect to achieve. You can also ask to see before and after results to get a better idea. The establishment should be clean and sterile ...
This is tough to answer without pictures. A combination of fillers (juvederm, restylane, volbella) with botox and lasers can help define the lips. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
Some injectors prefer a dental block for lip injections. I agree with many of my colleagues below, a topical anesthetic and proper injection technique make the procedure fairly painless and reduce the risk of bruising. As far as the use of the laser the next day, some...
No. The vermilion border should only be injected if needed. It is customary when one is learning how to do injections that it is an approach that is taught. I find that many injectors who are starting out feel like this needs to be the first to do. This is a mistake...
