Q:

Lately I have noticed that there are lines radiating up around my upper lip. Also, my lipstick seems to "bleed" into these lines. What procedure do you recommend? Someone told me about a soft play dough type of material that can be injected into the rim of my lip that would keep the lipstick from running. What do you think is the best/least risky procedure?

A:

If the lines are rather deep, then a chemical peel or carbon dioxide laser resurfacing would be very good options. Collagen injection is another alternative, and this would be less invasive. The best treatment for a particular individual can only be recommended after a consultation to evaluate the problem.
