Fat for volume, Restylane/Juvederm for nasolabial folds

Richard Baxter, MD answers: Juvederm or Fat transfer for mild nasolabial folds?

To fill in mild nasolabial folds, what will work better; look and feel more natural; last longer; and have less possible complications: Juvederm or a Fat transfer from another part of my body?

Fat grafting is a very good and predictable solution for adding volume to the cheeks, and for filling in the "tear trough" below the eyelid. Areas with little motion like these tend to do well with fat grafts. Mild nasolabial lines are best treated with injections into the skin, rather than under it as we do with fat. Restylane, Juvederm, and Evolence are all good options there.
