Botox Mouth Lip Lines Treatment
Years of puckering to kiss, sipping from a straw, or smoking can leave small vertical lines around the mouth. As skin loses elasticity and volume with age, these fine wrinkles begin to outline the lips. If lip lines are affecting the border of your mouth, Botox injections may be the solution. Dr. Erez Dayan offers Botox mouth and lip lines treatment at Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.
The lips are one of the most delicate and expressive areas to treat, so smoothing lip lines without affecting your speech or smile takes precise, conservative dosing — and that’s where Dr. Erez Dayan excels. A clinical investigator and key opinion leader for Allergan, the maker of Botox, and co-author of the textbook on facial anatomy and injectable safety, he is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute. He completed the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program — serving as Chief Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital — before an elite aesthetic fellowship at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, where he was one of only two surgeons selected. Botox mouth lip lines treatment is one of the practice’s Botox treatments.
What Causes Vertical Lip Lines?
Botox injections are effective on dynamic lines caused by muscle movement and contraction. The muscle responsible for vertical lip lines is the orbicularis oris — the circular muscle around the mouth that allows you to pucker your lips, which is exactly where those small lines form. Relaxing this muscle softens the mouth and lip lines, smoothing the outline of the lips for a more youthful appearance.
“The lips are an area where less is more. A few precisely placed, conservative injections soften those vertical lines while keeping your lips moving naturally — no stiffness when you talk or smile.” — Dr. Erez Dayan
Smoothing Wrinkles Around the Mouth in Reno/Tahoe
Lip lines, sometimes called “smoker’s lines,” are a common facial-aging concern — and the good news is there are non-surgical options to smooth them. For Botox lip line treatment, multiple small injections relax different areas of the orbicularis oris around the upper and lower lip. Results take several days to become evident and typically last three to four months or longer, and the treatment can be repeated as needed to maintain the effect. In some cases, dermal filler and Botox work together to create more youthful, fuller lips without wrinkles or lines.
