Injectable Fillers: Q&A
Ask a QuestionHeavy Nasolabial Lines
I am a 40 year old very lean male with heavy nasolabial lines.Just last year I tried juvaderm and later radiesse which both plumped up the skin a bit. However from a distance they have always been very very visible. Not a big imprtovement at all.Is there anything else that might do the trick? Not looking for perfection but a moderate improvement. Thanks

Treating nasolabial folds while balancing the entire face
Many patients think of nasolabial folds as simply lost volume in the nasolabial area, and that filling this volume will solve their problems.
This view is often incorrect.
As the face ages, or just congenitally in some patients, the cheeks deflate and the skin sags. There is also a sagging of the deeper tissues. The nasolabial area has fixed points, so the sagging "folds" over this point.

Nasolabial fold treatment
The nasolabial folds usually get more pronounced as a person ages. This can be attributed to the descent of soft tissues from the mid face and then the subsequent descent of skin over the attached region which makes up the nasolabial folds. Augmentation of the cheeks or face lifting technqiues may help this as well.
