I just went in for my biannual shots of Botox.
Where my lines bother me most are above my lip but injections at this site are tricky.
For starters, I drool like a teething baby when sipping from a straw and not certain this is the most effective solution. I am not willing to try fillers at this point in my life. In the meantime I want to share some helpful tips for upper lip wrinkle prevention.
1. Don’t sip from a straw.
2. Avoid drinking directly from water bottles. It creates the same lip movement as smoking.
3. Smoking causes these bothersome lines
4. Apply eye cream to this sensitive area. (Thank you Joy!)
Please do share any of your remedies!
Thank you Fortune for more great tips and thank you Joy!
Fortune, you are the Bomb girlfriend for admitting
So openly that u get Botox… Kudos for the transparency… I feel I owe the same to you… I have the same issue and I’ve seen awful results of others who get injectables in that area.. They look like Hootie and the Blowfish… It’s gd awful….
That’s where Radiesse comes in… It’s a cheek filler that ever so slightly perks up the cheek area therefor lifting the area around your facial muscles
Which smooths out the marionette lines around the mouth. The cheek filler is very subtle and I find it’s been helping to do the trick.
And it’s temporary as with all these lovely needle wonders so if u don’t like it, it’s only a season to live with it. But only get this done with a dr who is gentle and easy and doesn’t like the plastic look.
My dr is very subtle with the less is more approach. Same with my nose job dr… Boob dr… Hair colorist…teeth whitener dr..spray tan lady…. All very subtle cosmeticians lol…full disclosure works both ways!!
