I feel as though my nasal folds are asymmetrical and are giving me a lopsided look. (My lips are thin too, but I guess that's another story.) Would Restalyn be the best option for treatment, or is there another procedure that would be better in terms of creating a more symmetrical appearance? I'm a 31-year-old woman and haven't had any prior cosmetic treatments. Thank you.
Answer: Treatment of asymmetrical nasolabial folds Asymmetric use of hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm will reduce the asymmetry between the folds. However there is no procedure that will eliminate them completely. There are other small surgical procedures that may help the asymmetry as well if the hyalunonic acid alone does not do enough. For more permanent augmentation, we prefer the patient's own untraumatized tissues (LiveFill)

Hi there-
Your minor asymmetry could absolutely be improved using fillers (multiple options exist).
And I agree with my colleagues that it is important you realize that asymmetry is the rule rather than the exception.

Answer: Asymmetric nasolabial folds commonly treated with filler
Everyone has some degree of asymmetry with respects to their nasolabial folds. Some asymmetries are worse than others. The simplest, easiest, and most conservative method to address this is with injections of fillers like Restylane or Juvederm.
One other alternative is to take a fascia graft and place it underneath the nasolabial folds, which is a more permanent solution, however, this is only done in our office at the time of facelifts since we already have another incision already open where we can harvest some of the fascia while placing them under the nasolabial folds. The fascia grafts are a permanent fix to the nasolabial area.

Answer: Fillers for the nasolabial folds. The asymmetry can be vastly improved with fillers. In my opinion, based on 35 years of using fillers, the best for this area is Radiesse. It is the filler that makes patients say "WOW', if properly done.

Answer: Fillers for nasolabial folds The quickest procedure with the least downtime/recovery time, smallest risk of complications and most bang for your buck is an injectable filler. The next step is to choose which filler and which physician. There are numerous ones that would fit the bill. My favorite for this area is radiesse because it lasts a few years and my patients have been very happy with out. Different fillers have different properties and some have to be injected deeper than others to avoid problems. There are many qualified doctors out there who can perform this procedure. Make sure the doctor you choose is familiar with the type of filler they plan to use. Do not be concerned about the asymmetry because this type of asymmetry is very common. You will just need more filler on one side.
