Is volume the only way to eliminate smoker lines?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
Dr. has used Juvaderm UP for smoker lines on my lips however he’s doing this by adding volume I believe is creating a puffy look on my upper lip ,According to him it’s the only way to erase those lines.Any suggestions? Can the little lines be addressed one by one?I don’t want to look over done should I look for other options? Also I want to get rid of my puppet lines what you recommend? Also is there anyway to get rid of the very fine lines in the middle of my cheeks? Thank you
A.Thereismore than one way to skin a cat and there are more ways than inflating lips to treat “lip lines.” The best treatment for these lines is a fractionated CO2 laser with PRP (platelet rich plasma)which requires some downtime. The lip lines can be individually filled using a thin hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane Refyne or Vobella without adding volume to the lips. Another treatment is Profound Lift withPRP. Lastly, microneedling with PRP can be helpful. Most importantly always choose your treating physician carefully based on their knowledge, skill, experience, and natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.
