When I smile, this deep horizontal line develops above my lip in the mustache area. I’m wondering what kind of treatment botox or filler maybe can help reduce the line
Answer: Dynamic issues It’s not a good idea to treat problems related to contraction of facial muscles. Doing so has a high propensity of causing undesirable side effects when those muscles are not contracted. Facial aesthetics are usually done based on expressive neutral faces. I don’t think fillers or Botox are going to correct this issue without creating undesirable potential side effects of bulk or muscle weakness Somethings are better left alone. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
