Objective To report conservative treatment based on the use of dermal fillers for a case of recurrent angular cheilitis. Case report An 80‐year‐old patient with a history of recurrent angular cheilitis that was not resolved with a conventional approach sought treatment. Complete remission of the pathology was achieved with the injection of hyaluronic acid fillers. Conclusion This case illustrates the potential of nonsurgical facial aesthetics (NSFA) for treating this common pathology among elderly people. This case report shows that, aside from achieving aesthetic goals, NSFA approaches can also help treat some oral pathology.
