Lip wrinkles in Busan Seomyeon, the lines around the mouth

Why are lip wrinkles harder to treat than the rest of the face, and what works in Busan?

Lip wrinkles are two things: the vertical lines that run from the lip border up toward the nose, folded in by the ring muscle around the mouth every time you purse, sip, speak or smoke, and the crepe on the lip itself and the skin around it, where the thinnest skin on the face has lost collagen and the lip has lost volume and its border. They are harder than other lines for two reasons: the muscle cannot be quieted much without affecting speech and drinking, so Botox is dosed in tiny amounts; and the skin is so thin that filler shows if it is placed wrong and a laser marks if it is set wrong. Treating them is a sequence of small, conservative steps rather than one.

At Boom Dermatology the order is set. A light dose of Botox from ₩16,500 across the upper lip softens the pursing without numbing it; a soft filler from ₩88,000 per cc, a fraction of a cc, is laid along the deepest lines and in the lip border, which restores the edge that the lines run into; a booster, Juvelook or Rejuran, thickens the crepe over a course; and a fractional pico pass or Moxi resurfaces what remains, with the laser set for perioral skin. Whether filler here looks obvious, whether Botox affects speech, and which comes first are the questions below; the lip filler page covers the lip itself.

Downtime after lip wrinkles treatment, and flying home

None for Botox; swelling for a few days after lip-area filler; pinpricks after a booster; one to five days after a laser by tier. Fly the same evening after injectables. Botox shows at a week; filler at once, settled at two weeks.

Will filler here look obvious?

Not when it is a fraction of a cc of a soft product placed in the border and along the deepest lines, which is the only way it is done at Boom Dermatology. The obvious lip is a cc of firm filler in the body of the lip for lines it was never going to fix; the lines want the edge restored and a thread of softness, and the mouth looks the same, only smoother.

Can Botox around the mouth affect how I speak or drink?

In the doses used for lines, not noticeably: a few units spread across the upper lip soften pursing while leaving the muscle able to seal a straw and form a P. A heavy dose would, which is why the lip is the one area where the doctor errs very low and tops up at two weeks if you want more.

Which comes first, filler or laser?

Botox and filler first, because quieting the muscle and restoring the border remove most of the lines and show what the skin itself needs; the booster course runs alongside; the laser comes last, for the etched lines that remain, two weeks after any filler. Our Seomyeon skin clinic writes the sequence at the consultation.

Why is this area harder to treat than the rest of the face?

The muscle is one you use constantly and cannot be quieted much; the skin is the thinnest on the face and shows filler and marks from lasers; the lip border is a structure that lines run into. Every tool is used in smaller amounts than elsewhere, which is slower and safer.

I do not smoke. Why do I have smoker's lines?

Because the muscle folds the lip whether the thing between your lips is a cigarette, a straw, a bottle or nothing at all, and because sun and genetics thin the skin it folds. Smoking makes them earlier and deeper; most patients at Boom Dermatology in Busan with these lines have never smoked.
