Smile Lines and cheek enhancement Winchester Hampshire UK

Summary

• Dynamic "smile lines" appear around the corners of the mouth when you simile. They respond well to filler injections given directly into the lines.

• Permanent "smile lines" are longer and deeper.  They respond better if the filler injections are given both in the upper cheeks and the lines.

Additional treatments for "smile lines" (lines around the mouth) and flattening of the cheeks

• Filler injections given to enhance the curvature of the cheeks help lift the excess skin away from the mouth and soften the lines

• Obagi Nu-Derm to correct collagen and elastin loss, if the skin has been damaged by sun or smoking

• ReFirme can be used to correct mild degrees of skin laxity if the skin is healthy

• An Obagi Blue Peel will tighten the skin more effectively if it has been damaged by sun or smoking.

• Botox injections are only an option for people with wide smiles that reveal more of their gums than they wish to show.

Causes of "smile lines" (lines around the mouth) and flattening of the cheeks

• Smiling

• Flattening of the upper cheeks occurs as a consequence of exercise, stress or diet induced loss of subcutaneous tissue and loss of bone leading to accumulation of excess skin around the mouth

• Reduced skin strength, elasticity and tautness due to sun-damage, smoking and age
