Vertical lip lines still present 2 weeks after laser resurfacing. Should I try fillers instead?

Asked By:golfergal in Seattle, WA

I have Erbium laser resurfacing on my upper lip for vertical lip lines. I am two weeks post procedure and the lip lines are exactly the same. My doctor did 4 passes with the laser and I had redness and some swelling. He wants to re-do the laser resurfacing in about a month and claims he can get these lines eradicated. I have my doubts in that they look exactly the same from the pics he took. Should I resort to fillers instead? I'm turnig 60 in a few days.
