Overview
The transition between the lower lip and the chin is indicated by the labio-mental sulcus. The depth and the severity of this crease is depending on the volume and on the contractile status of the mentalis muscle. Therefore, is the first line of smoothing the labiomental crease the administration of toxins into the mentalis muscle. However, if the crease still persists and is of aesthetic concern, you will find all the tips and tricks you need to correct this crease with soft tissue fillers by using both a needle- and a cannula-based injection technique.
