Smile lines are the most requested filler at New You Chicago, and the one I almost never treat first.
Patients walk in and point to the lines that run from the nose to the mouth and ask me to fill them. Filling those folds alone makes the lower face look heavy. A face needs a foundation first, like a house. Restore the cheek and the whole area lifts, which is usually the look you were hoping for.
I never push volume. We treat in stages and plan the next step from how your face responds, and you can go as slowly as you like. Sometimes I talk patients out of things, and overfilled lips are the most common example. If a treatment will not help you, I say so.
Your results are my reputation. When someone asks who did your injections, I want you to be proud to answer.
