Nasolabial Folds
Softening nasolabial folds with fillers
Everyone naturally has nasolabial folds, the lines that run from the sides of the nose towards the corners of the mouth. As the skin ages, these folds may gradually become deeper and more visible.
Procedure
Benefits & results
More pronounced nasolabial folds are often caused by volume loss in the cheeks and cheekbones. As the skin loses support and firmness, the tissue may begin to shift slightly downward. This can create a tired, heavy or more severe appearance.
With fillers, nasolabial folds can be softened in a subtle way while maintaining natural facial expression.
In some cases, the folds themselves are treated directly with small amounts of filler. In other situations, adding volume to the cheeks and cheekbones may provide better overall support and soften the folds indirectly.
During the assessment, the doctor carefully evaluates which approach best suits the facial structure, proportions and desired result.
