What cosmetic procedure would be best to get rid of the lines above the upper lip?

Q:

What cosmetic procedure would be best to get rid of the lines above the upper lip?

A:

There are temporary solutions (hylaform and other injections), less intrusive solutions (light spot abrasion with light chemical peel or “light” laser) and more permanent solutions (wide undermining and fat grafts, plus light peels) and skin programs (such as topical vitamin C and enzyme home programs). It is no longer necessary to lose skin color or appearance, or have a prolonged recovery time.
