I am hoping someone can ease tell me what would cause deep lip lines at my age? Used to smoke but never very heavily and only tanned a few times. I eat well and take care of my skin but these lines are deep. I also notice they got deeper with my TMJD since I have trouble moving my lips properly to speak sometimes. All responses are greatly appreciated.

Answer: Fairly Deep And Long Vertical Lip Lines At 43, What Are My Options? Thank you for your question. Vertical lip lines are a common problem and very challenging to treat. They are caused by continuous movement of the underlying facial muscles, thinning skin, age-related volume loss, sun damage and smoking. I find that a combination of botox and filler works best. Volbella would be a great choice of filler. Please be sure to see an expert for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan. Hope this helps and best wishes!

Answer: Vertical lip lines Hi there, and thank you for your question. Vertical lip lines are often caused from activity of the underlying mouth muscle (orbicularis oris). Over time, this muscle movement 'crinkles' the overlying skin, resulting in vertical lines. There are a number of treatment options for these types of lines including a very small amount of Botox as well as soft tissue fillers. In addition, certain laser procedures can assist in smoothing these lines. However, a consultation with a qualified physician in Ottawa would be advised to discuss the risks and benefits of each option. All the best.
