Boston Facial Fillers Can Give You Lovely Lips for the Holidays
Boston Facial Fillers Can Give You Lovely Lips for the Holidays
Not enough kisses under the mistletoe this year?
Boston facial filler expert, Richard A. Moss M.D. has the perfect solution. Restylane® injections to fill out and plump up your lips! “Restylane® is one of the most popular ‘fillers’ currently being used to plump up thin lips,” states Dr. Moss. “It is an ideal filler in that it fills out the lips while still leaving them with a natural feel. It can also be used to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds (those pesky vertical lines that run from the nose to the side of the mouth).
Richard A. Moss M.D. finds that around the holidays the number of patients interested in facial injectables sharply increases. “The number of patients scheduling appointments for BOTOX®, Restylane®, Perlane®, and Radiesse®, dramatically rises around Thanksgiving and remains at a very high level until after New Years Day. We stock a number of facial injectable products so that I can personally tailor a patient’s treatment to her individual needs and desired results”.
A Restylane expert, Dr. Moss explains that most women want to look their best around the holidays for all the family, friends and business celebrations. “Many of my patients just want a freshening up. Some are concerned that while they want to look younger they don’t want a radical change. Something that says you look ‘rested’ but not an obvious ‘overhaul’ is often what the goal is”.
Dr. Moss further explains that lips are starting to play an increasingly greater part in the rejuvenation process for many women. “No longer are they satisfied with reducing the wrinkles, they also want the lip fullness that is recognized as an important part of a youthful appearance. This is all part of the trend in the anti-aging industry of not just removing excess skin but replacing ‘lost volume.’ Even facial cosmetic surgery is trending towards the replacement or realignment of lost facial fat pad volume, not just redraping the facial skin and excising the excess.”
“Even those patients who are avid cosmetic surgery patients are supplementing their surgical results with facial fillers (Restylane®, Radiesse®, and Perlane®) for a more natural look,” explains Dr. Moss.
Another popular reason that many patients turn to Restylane® injections in their lips is that, if it is injected along the edges of the lip, (referred to as the vermilion border), there can be a reduction in the depth of lip lines around the mouth. “Women especially hate these lip lines. Lipstick bleeds into them, accentuating an already unpleasant feature of their face. And unlike men, then can’t grow a beard,” Dr. Moss further explains.
Dr. Moss has two different injection techniques for the lips. He can inject along the vermilion border of the lip to help reduce lip lines and improve definition or he can inject into the body of the lips to plump them up. He can also perform a combination of the two techniques. “One of the challenges of injecting along the vermillion border is to avoid overdoing it so that the patient still retains a natural appearance. Often times I will utilize both techniques for an optimum result. If a patient has no lip lines then I might inject just into the body of the lip as it is unnecessary to inject the vermilion border,” explains Dr. Moss. “It is so important to individually tailor the injection treatment to the patient’s specific issues and goals.”

This Boston facial filler patient had 1 syringe of Restylane®. Dr. Moss injected part of the syringe along the vermillion border of her lips and the remainder of the syringe into the body of her lips. No other area of her face was injected.
