A treatment that may be considered for concerns relating to upper lip folds, smokers lines and the appearance of lines around the mouth. M1 Med Beauty doctors treat the perioral area at our Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD clinics. During your free consultation, a doctor will assess the area and discuss the available treatment options.
Upper lip folds are lines and creases that can appear in and around the upper lip area. They generally fall into two categories, and treatment suitability may differ depending on the characteristics of the area.
These are the creases that appear along or just above the border of the upper lip, where the coloured lip tissue meets the surrounding skin. Their appearance may be influenced by factors such as anatomy, facial structure and changes in the area over time.
Smokers lines, also known as perioral lines or lip lines, are the vertical lines that extend upward from the upper lip border toward the nose. Although commonly referred to as smokers lines, they can occur in both smokers and non-smokers.
At M1 Med Beauty, a volumising treatment may be considered for concerns relating to upper lip folds and the appearance of the lip border. The upper lip is a highly visible and anatomically detailed area that requires careful assessment, treatment planning and precise placement. Every treatment is performed by a doctor.
Treatment effects may last for up to three to six months in some patients, although duration varies between individuals.
A doctor will discuss potential treatment outcomes, duration considerations and whether treatment may be appropriate for your circumstances during your consultation.
Temporary treatment-related effects such as swelling, tenderness, redness or bruising may occur following treatment.
Your doctor will provide personalised aftercare instructions and discuss any post-treatment considerations before you leave.

Lines around the upper lip can have a range of contributing factors, and their appearance varies significantly between individuals.
One factor may be repeated muscle movement in the mouth area, such as speaking, sipping, whistling or lip pursing, which can influence how the skin in this region folds over time.
Other factors may include individual anatomy, genetics, skin characteristics, sun exposure and general changes in facial tissues over time.
The relative contribution of these factors differs from person to person. During your consultation, a doctor will assess the area and discuss whether treatment may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Upper lip folds and smoker lines refer to different types of lines that can appear in the upper lip and perioral area.
Upper lip folds generally refer to lines and creases at or just above the lip border, where the lip tissue meets the surrounding skin. Their appearance may be associated with a range of factors, including individual anatomy and characteristics of the lip and surrounding tissue.
Smoker lines refer to finer vertical lines that extend upward from the upper lip area. These lines may be associated with repetitive facial movement as well as other individual factors.
It is common for both types to be present at the same time. During your consultation, a doctor will assess the area and discuss whether treatment may be appropriate for your individual circumstances, including potential treatment options and considerations.
The duration of any treatment effect varies between individuals and depends on a range of factors, including individual anatomy, treatment considerations and the area being treated.
Treatment effects may last for up to six months in some patients; however, duration can vary from person to person.
