Answer: Morpheus 8 Hi @nikiperth! I recommend Morpheus 8. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Filleers for Smile Lines In your photo, your smile line is actually called a nasolabial fold, extending from your nose down past the corner of your mouth. This is a normal landmark, but because of your individual anatomy is more prominent than usual. There are several factors that come into play, such as the fatty fullness in the cheeks just behind these lines, as well as the pull of underlying muscles with expression. Although you can never expect to completely smooth these lines out, several available fillers can help soften their appearance by plumping up the skin in the depth of the lines. Although fat grafting works well adding volume to many areas of the face, I have found fillers to be more reliable in this particular area.

Answer: Smile line filler Yes, there are many fillers which would be beneficial for your "smile lines", called nasolabial folds. Most often deeper smile lines result from loss of volume in the upper face/cheek areas. It sounds as though you may have had fat transfer to address your upper face volume loss so filler to your nasolabial folds is appropriate. Remember you would like to soften your fols not completely erase them for a more natural look. Many filler choices exist for for the nasolabial folds. Please consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in aesthetic injectables. Best wishes.

Answer: Volumizing Fillers Work Well And Have Been Used For Decades For Softening Smile Lines Using fillers to treat smile lines was the first approved indication for their use. In fact, I personally was using the original Zyderm I collagen filler for this purpose over three decades ago. Today we have a wide variety of much more sophisticated and safe injectable volumzing fillers for this purpose. So, the short answer to your question is that volumizing fillers can absolutely be used to soften smile lines.
