Many of our patients present with vertical lines above their upper lip. These are commonly referred to as smokers lines, however they can occur in non smokers too.
There are a couple of ways we can treat these lines.
One is to administer botox in this area. We are very careful to start off with very small doses. As excessive doses can effect your speech and whistling. We gradually increase the dose as long as it can be tolerated until the lines have been reduced sufficiently or they have been eliminated.
A second approach is the same as above, to use botox but in conjunction with a dermal filler. We would either reinforce the borders of the lip or inject some light filler in the top lip region. Same again, we are very careful to administer a low quantity of filler, so avoiding the ‘duck’ or ‘trout pout/ look.
