Consulted with hospital cosmetic clinic to take Juvederm injections for deep nasolabial lines, and finer lines/wrinkles around mouth including lip's short/vertical lines. I was told injections may not be enough. To try laser on lower or entire face, or silicon. I'm reluctant to the much more invasive laser, and read silicone migrates.

I wonder if anyone with very deep lines (and finer lines around lips) tried Juvederm with success? Or any other fillers? Thanks so much for your opinions!

Yikes, I'm not a fan of injecting free silicone into the face or body because of the very real risk of serious complications. You can do a quick search on the web to see the reported silicone complications. For deep smile lines also called nasolabial folds you may consider: Radiesse Perlane Juvederm Ultra Plus All of these are thicker fillers than Juvederm and should give greater filling effects to the folds. For the fine smile lines, around... more

Deep folds require more filler...

It is not that fillers like Juvederm, Perlane, and Radiesse will not help deep nasolabial folds, it is just that it requires more filler to the fold as well as the cheeks to lift the area. It therefore may not be "cost-effective". Fine lines are fine with Juvederm or Restylane, but lasers like the Deep FX will give more permanent improvement. One thing I think: avoid silicone. Over the years, it results in a muzzled, "monkey" look to the mouth area that gets worse, not... more

Deep and fine lines with Juvederm

Juvederm will work very well for the deep nasofacial lines.The improvement will last 6 to 8 mopnths, possibly longer. Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxyappatite) can last longer: 10to 12 months or possibly longer. For fine wrinkles on the upper lip, a few units of Botox followed in 1 week by Traditional Laser Resurfacing would be the best treatment. Unfortunately, there is a long period of downtime (7-9 days or longer). Alternately, Botox followed by Fractional Laser Resurfacing... more

Juvederm and folds

Juvederm or Perlane is great for the nasolabial folds. It helps reduce the deep depression. It is not good for fine lines.

Radiesse ,Perlane and Juvederm Ultraplus are better choices for deep nasolabial folds

When we are treating deep nasolabial folds robust fillers such as Radiesse, Perlaneor Juvederm Ultra plus work much better than Juvederm and Resylane They will add volume as well as filling the folds. For very deep folds we add Juvederm or Restylane on top in a layered fashion for better outcome

Fillers are great for deep folds

Juvederm is very effective for the nasolabial lines. You may also want to inquire about Radiesse, this works great for very deep folds; and Radiesse lasts between 12 to 18 months.

Juvederm use common for nasolabial lines

One of the most common uses for Juvederm is for the nasolabial lines (from the corner of the mouth to the corner of the nose). I would discourage you from trying more extensive procedures if you are unsure yet of what you are trying to achieve. Start out slowly and pick your doctor carefully.

Soft tissue fillers like Juvederm work for nasolabial folds

Deep nasolabial or mentolabial (marionette lines) folds can be treated quite effectively with hyaluronic acid soft tissue fillers such as Juvederm Ultra Plus or Perlane. Finer lines/ wrinkles such as those around the mouth and lips can be addressed using Juvederm Ultra or Restylane. Depending on the severity of your lines/ folds, you may require more than one syringe or a combination of soft tissue fillers to optimize your results. Consult with a reputable board certified plastic... more

Fillers for deep folds

Juvederm Ultra Plus, Perlane and Radiesse, fat injections and Sculptra can augment deep smile folds. Restylane and Juvederm can be used on fine creases or can be layered on top of thick fillers when needing to add some more volume to deep creases after a thicker fille has already been placed. Some patients lost volume of fat in the mid cheek which makes the smile fold deeper by not supporting the cheek which then falls like a shelf.The mid cheek corrected by Radiesse, Perlane or Juvederm... more

Juvederm Ultra PLUS is the preferred Hyaluronic Acid filler for deep nasolabial folds

Deep folds such as deep nasolabial folds require a more substantial filler, such as Juvederm Ultra Plus, Perlane or Radiesse. Juvederm Ultra and Restylane can also be used but will require more filler to get the same results and may not last as long.

Fillers or Laser resurfacing can improve nasolabial folds

First let me start with the advice to inject Silicon. This is the most unethical advise you were given. Silicon SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR FILLING LINES. It borders on ILLEGAL. Any FILLER can improve the nasolabial fold to a certain degree. However, it is the best option, especially if you need more facial rejuvenation and based on what your expectations are. Laser Resurfacing with CO2 LASER is the best, but has limitation and will tighten skin some. You might be a good candidate for a face... more
