Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm may be used to fill wrinkles in the smile lines around the mouth, smaller wrinkles around the oral region such as lip lines, and to fill the space below the lower eyelid (off-label use) that can appear sunken or hollow as a result of facial aging. Off-label use of Restylane and Juvederm may also be used for volume augmentation of the lips.
