60 and just had some fillers “smokers “ lines

[LunaTheCat]

never had Botox/fillers.
Aged 60 and just had some filler in lines above my lip… never smoked a single ciggy.
Wanted to age gracefully, have always cared for my skin but lines really bugged me.
Am just so delighted!

Are you very pleased with the results? Is there a noticeable difference? Good for you. I'm sure I'll consider it in the future.

Love this for you! I want to do the same! Did it hurt? How much did it cost you? I've been fortunate in that I've got to middle age with fairly smooth skin but a couple of lines could do with some plumping.

It was expensive.. (£350) but happy to pay for a dr with good experience and right qualifications.. she was just lovely. It is noticeable to me .. vastly improved.
it feels like a real treat and will probably last a couple years.
it stung but she used lots numbing cream and I am a wimp but the dental hygienist is a lot worse 🤣🤣
I am so delighted!

This is fantastic! Well worth the investment! I'm saving to have mine done but it will take a while so I love reading stories like this. So pleased for you!

Are you brave enough to share before & after pics? I’m scared to try this so would love to see the results

I didn’t take any pics but dr did.
Still a wee bit bruising but can cover easily tinted moisturiser.
I am really glad I went to a doctor… the sector is not well regulated.
It feels like a perfect secret ( apart from telling Mumsnet 😂😂)

Good for you! I have similar lines. I’m interested in what filler they used. Would Botox also help the area, like easing the movement there to stop wrinkles?

I tried Botox there and it did nothing for me. There were 2 days when my lips didn’t move as much and I couldn’t whistle for the cat. But then 100% back to normal with no change to my wrinkles 😞 (and the cat knows when it’s time to come home as normal!)

To be fair, the Lady who did it did warn me it probably wouldn’t work and that filler was the best way to go. I wanted to try it first and it was an expensive way to confirm that she was right

They always call them 'smoker's lines' when really they are often caused by pursing your lips for years.

I even wake up with this expression 😂

Happy to see a positive post about filler. Mums net is so against (uninformed about) filler

I was told I would be lucky if Botox lasted 6 weeks.. I also play woodwind so that would be impossible with Botox.
