Nasolabial fold treatment

Whether to treat the cheek or nasolabial fold first depends on the patients facial proportions. if the nasolabial fold has a depressed or sunken in appearance relative to the rest of the face, then i would inject the nasolabial fold with restylane, perlane or radiesse with restylane for a nasolabial line but perlane or radiesse if it is actually a deeper fold. on the other hand, if the cheek tissue appears to have significantly sagged and the nasolabial fold seems to significantly flatten... more

Radiesse, Beverly Hills Radiesse, Los Angeles Radiesse, Juvederm

For deep smile smile 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.

Juvederm for nasolabial folds

While both methods work, I prefer to directly inject the area first and utilize cheek elevation as a second-tier or adjunctive procedure to augment the first. In my experience, Juvederm works very well for almost immediate correction of the nasolabial region.

Best correction for naso labial folds

Thanks for the question. Juvederm is an excellent volumizer used to manage naso labial folds. I would suggest managing the naso labial folds primarily with Juvederm as opposed to volumizing the cheeks. A considerable amount of filler volume is often necessary to soften the naso labial folds through check "lifting", and this can lead to profound changes in your facial appearance which you may not have been anticipating. It is true that in some instances, a cheek lift is... more

Juvederm is great for smoothing early signs of aging in the nasolabial folds

Juvederm is great for smoothing early signs of aging in the nasolabial folds. As the years go by however, lifting the cheeks with fillers, fat, Titan, and/or face lifting may be needed.

Juvederm for nasolabial folds

Juvederm is an excellent choice for reducing the signs of aging and lines. Keep in mind, it is not permanent and its duration of effect varies based on patient and location of injection. Juvederm may be injected into cheeks or nasolabial folds (FDA approved indication) , both can enhance the appearance and the approach would be based upon your cosmetic surgeon's preference.

Nasolabial fold reduction with Juvederm

Nasolabial fold reduction is one of the most common uses for injectable fillers. Plumping up the depressed skin fold line is, by far, the preferred treatment as opposed to trying to lift the cheek tissue above it. Juvederm injections not only work well for this aging facial problem but are easily and quickly done in the office.

Juvederm - where to inject

Both areas are injected to improve the nasolabial folds - it really depends on your anatomy. If you have fat loss in the cheeks causing a deflated look with the skin hanging over the folds, then filling the cheeks would significantly help your look. If you're younger and just have a little prominence in the folds, then filling the fold and tapering it so it blends may be all you need. If you have any questions, ask your surgeon to analyze your face with you so you... more

A little can go a very long way

Both options are acceptable. Injecting the cheeks can go a very long way in facial rejuvenation and will probably improve your nasolabial folds without requiring any treatment of the fold itself, especially if you only have early signs. Injecting the cheeks however, requires a much larger quantity of filler than would be required to inject the fold directly. In fact, with folds that are not too deep, I have found that a deep injection in the triangular hollows next to the nostrils (top... more

Injecting filler in the smile folds or cheeks

There is much discussion as to the best way to volumize the face. The aged appearance is thought to develop partially, from the loss of subcutaneoous fat in the cheek area which then allows the cheek to drop creating a shelf of skin over the smile line forming a deeper valley in the line and a fold from the cheek edge. I often say to my patients that once the cheek's normal convex surface is recreated, the smile line no longer bothers the eyes that visualize it. Babies... more

Juvederm for Correction of Early Nasolabial Folds

Hi New Yorker, As my colleague Rebbecca Fitzgerald, MD recently addressed a plastic surgery conference audience in Beverly Hills, "Signs of aging are like the noise in your car. If you take care of it when you first hear it, it is much easier and a whole lot less expensive to take care of than if you wait until it gets louder!" Early signs of aging in the nasolabial folds are easier and less expensive to take care of the sooner that you take care of it... more

Injecting both areas works best

When the cheeks are injected along with the nasolabial fold, the results last longer and are more natural looking. Each patient should be injected based on their unique anatomy. Not every nasolabial fold needs correcting for the patient to look better.

Juvederm for nl folds

Juvederm is an excellent choice for filling the nasolabial folds. You can also possibly fill the cheeks to lift the fold a bit.

Juvederm for cheeks and nasolabial folds

Yes! I always start with the cheeks, because a little can go a very long way (and sometimes you can skip the nasolabial folds entirely if you are young with fine lines). Good luck, Dr. Rupani

Injectables Work Great For NL Folds

The current stable of injectable products works great for the naso-labial fold areas. When injected correctly, these not only go into the fold areas, but the surrounding areas in a fan type distribution to augment and blend in the product. This creates a smoother transition. Juvaderm and restylane are the most common products for the nasolabial folds. They are both very smooth and when injected correctly, you cannot feel at all. Juvaderm generally lasts about 18... more

Juvederm corrects cheek aging.

Hi. This is a very good question, and the answer really depends on your exact anatomy. First, we treat hollowness in the cheeks, because this makes you look younger in itself and also helps to erase the folds. If the cheeks are fine, then we just smooth the folds. Sometimes we treat both the cheeks and the folds. You need a good eye and precise technique.

Juvederm - Naso Labial Folds

Without a posted photo of your face hard to answer. So I would say BOTH! areas should be injected by a boarded experienced injector. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, 305 598 0091
