Mouth lines also known as Prune lips or Smokers Lines

These lines run outward radially from the edges of the lips and are exaggerated by pursing them.  If they form only on active lip movement, then skillfully placed tiny doses of Botox can soften them.  Too much Botox in the wrong places can leave you unable to say your p’s, suck on a straw or passionately kiss.

Permanently imprinted furrows can be plumped out with tissue fillers and this often needs to be combined with filling out the outline of the lip (the junction between pink lip and ordinary skin).  Finally, laser or chemical peeling of the skin surface can add much to a very improved appearance.
