Nasolabial lines

I don't see anything wrong with your face. If you were my patient I would discuss why you feel the need to do anything at all. Have you lost weight lately? That can cause you to feel that you have less facial volume.

Being such a young individual, you would have many options: fat injection works really well in this area, this assumption is that you have some reserve fat to harvest to inject Radiasse is probably my favorite filler for this region as it gives you some immediate and long lasting results, price is typically higher than other fillers Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is another filler, composed of hylauronic acid, and the results are immediate and last about 9-12 months, many... more

Nasolabial Creases in Young Man

The success of fat augmentation, which I have done for over 25 years, does not depend on the age of the patient but rather the technique of the surgeon. The pictures you submit do not support your concern about the nasolabial grooves but do show a lack of good cheek contours and suggest poor chin projection with pre-jowl depressions. Consult with a surgeon experienced in facial aesthetic surgery.

I do not see a deep nasolabial fold. There is hypertrophied masster muscle, lack of cheek bones, pre-jowles depression. You need a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery) for full evaluation and options.
