Question

Whenever i put on lipsticks, they just look horrific. What kind of treatment should i have to make my lips smoother without lines on it ? I've attached the picture of my lips with a lipsticks one. it's horrible !

Thank you for your question. Wrinkling lips may cause patients to feel older than they really appear. Fortunately, lip augmentation is available to give you fuller, younger, sensual looking lips and to help improve your confidence. You are a perfect candidate for fat injections, that offer the only natural method for potential permanent results. Also consider the direct, subnasal and corner lip lifts. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

Thank you for your question. You have a beautifully shape and volume to your upper and lower lips and I would recommend only enhancing their definition using a thin hyaluronic acid like Restylane silk to smooth these lip wrinkles.  See a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to maximize your results.

There are many options for lip wrinkles.  My patients love restylane silk with fraxel or viva treatments and PRP.  Best, Dr. Emer.

There are several options to help reduce the lines on your lips. Before seeking out lip fillers, it may be worthwhile for you to try lip moisturizers with SPF, in order to better hydrate your skin, protect from that California sun and minimize some of your lines. If moisturizer alone does not provide you with the solution you’d like, I recommend a very conservative amount of filler which can help to hydrate your lips without impacting size, because your lips have a beautiful natural shape and are already quite voluminous. If you get lip injections, it’s important to only work with a certified, experienced injector. Best of luck to you.

Hi there, thanks for your question and sharing your photo.  Please note that it si normal for the red lip mucosa to have some lines.  I agree that your red lip appears slightly deflated and may benefit from a bit of hyaluronic acid filler.  This is something I do routinely via a blunt cannula to fill the red lips and decrease some of the lip mucosal wrinkling.  Hope this helps!
