Question:
Is there any one filler than can be used to improve marionette lines and lip lines, as well as some other superficial facial wrinkles? Or is it better to use different fillers for different problems?
Answer:
Hyaluronic acid fillers are the only ones that we inject into the lips. HA fillers are also very good at marionette lines as well as other superficial wrinkles. While you can use other fillers for areas other than lips it is not necessarily better. We usually will utilize Juvederm, Restylane or Restylane Lyft for all the areas unless the patient desires a longer result in which case we might recommend Radiesse. We utilize Sculptra as well for more significant volume replacement cases or in patients who don’t mind a series of injections and are looking for the longest results. Sculptra is not good for the lips however.
