Lower Face Injectable Solutions

Smoker’s lines, lip wrinkles, shrinking lips, old-looking neck? Where do you start?

Although there are technological devices that help soften lower facial aging, often it’s simple and quick to take advantage of injectables.

Smokers’ Lines / Lipstick Lines / Ugh

This is undoubtedly one of the most troublesome aspects of aging. Even those who have never smoked often see lines radiating from the lips both up and down! There are combined culprits for this occurrence in non-smokers.

• Loss of volume in the mouth area is #1. A natural depletion of fat means there is more skin than tissue beneath it, causing wrinkling.
• Unconscious pursing of the lips, when you talk, will eventually create etched-in wrinkles (watch yourself talking on the phone in front of the mirror to see if this is your habit).

Shrinking Lips

• Aging means less volume in the lip body itself. We’ll all see this happen over time.
• The area around the lips affects how much lip you see. Structural addition beyond the lip body can evert the lip to allow more of your natural lip to show.

The Witch’s Chin and Pebble Chin

This is a terrible term for a chin that begins to shrink inward at the top area and project outward at the bottom area. Caused by muscle contraction and usually also volume loss, it’s an easily corrected problem with Botox and filler.

Neck Bands or Cords

The platysma muscles tend to stand out as we get older, looking like cords and bands on the neck.  Surgical neck lifts allow a surgeon to sew these muscles together. Not into surgery? “Botox-ing” your neck smooths by preventing the muscle action that causes these muscles to stand out.
