Restylane Cost for Lines Around Mouth?

The amount of Restylane needed to acheive volume enhancement of the perioral area depends on the degree of static wrinkling and soft tissue atrophy. At $500 per syringe, most patients will do well with one or two syringes.

Generally one syringe of Restylane will correct the lines around the mouth, called nasolabial folds. The upper lip philtrum (central portion) can also be treated w/ the 1.0 ml syringe for a cost of @ $600, depending on your market. Expect mild pinkness and swelling for 24hrs. and avoid aspirin to minimize bruising. An additional syringe may be needed for optimal correction, which would increase your costs.

Vertical lip lines can be well treated with volume filler injections, most notably Restylane and Juvederm. While both products are similar, different physicians have a personal preference for one or the other. Globally, my preference is for Juvederm. Cost can vary between $400-800 depending on what product you need.
In the situation you describe, where vertical lines around the lip are the area of concern, I usually will recommend Restylane. The reason is that Restylane comes in a smaller sized syringe, which is less expensive. Filling out the white roll of the lip (where you usually put lip liner) does very well with smoothing out mild to moderate vertical lip lines. Deep lines usually require dermabrasion or resurfacing in order to be completely treated, but can be reduced with volume enhancement alone. Filling out the white roll, the so called "Parisian Lip", creates the illusion of lip enlargement in addition to smoothing out the lines. This treatment usually does not take a full 1cc syringe. Restylane 0.4cc syringe (actually has 0.6cc in it) is often more than enough for this lip liner effect. If more plumping of the lip is desired, then a full syringe is usually needed. In that circumstance I will treat with Juvederm or Restylane 1cc syringes.
