Filler for smile lines around the mouth poses a nominal risk of serious complications or side effects. The most common side effects include swelling, bruising at injection sites, tenderness, and redness. These symptoms typically resolve within 3-8 days after the treatment.

Our dermatologists are skilled injectors and strive to make the procedure as quick and comfortable as possible. Filler on laugh lines takes roughly 30-40 minutes. First, the skin is cleansed with an alcohol antiseptic. Depending on the filler, it is then numbed with a topical cream or lidocaine injection. In most cases, the filler is injected with a tiny rounded cannula, which has a lower risk of puncturing blood vessels.

Most patients are back to work right away since dermal fillers are a minimally invasive procedure. For best results, avoid:

• Strenuous exercise the day of treatment
• Harsh facial products for the first 24 hours
• Facial massage for at least three days

Depending on the type of nasolabial filler used and your metabolism, the results can last anywhere from 9-18 months before a touch-up treatment is needed.
