Possible for Nasolabial to Disappear Completely with Juvederm?

I want my nasolabial to disappear completely with juvederm. The doctor i went to suggested to leave some of it (towards the nose) and me being a first time juvederm user, agreed to it. That was 3 days ago, today i still see the folds and my question is, how much of the folds should we leave and how much to remove?

I dont like them at all so if you ask me, i want them all gone, disappeared. But is it not realistic, or not natural?

Advisability of Smoothing / Obliteration of Nose to Mouth Lines

The vast majority of cosmetic surgery disasters occur NOT because the Plastic surgeon(s) were poorly trained but because more likely than not they acted like a genie that just left the bottle ("Your wish (however ridiculous, stupid or poorly thought out...) is my command, dear patient)... - you want full duck like lips ? - sure...- you want huge implants on your 90 pound frame? - sure...why not- you want a Facelift / Necklift / Nose job / Breast Augmentation with a lift / tummy Tuck with li more

Do not overfill nasolabial folds with Juvederm

Everyone has a natural nasolabial fold, even in the late teens and early twenties. While Juvederm injections are a great treatment when these folds become too deep and grooved it should be done naturally. Overfilling this area gives an n fullness to the center of the face. As usual judicious use of these products and a skilled injector will keep you looking great.

Everyone, even small children have some nasolabial folds

Nasolabial folds can be completely obliterated with fillers in most patients, but that would not look natural. Even small children have folds. What makes Nasolabial folds a sign of aging is more from the mounds next to them and hollowing of the cheeks. Filling cheeks next to the mounds is often the answer for a more youthful face, taking attention away from the Nasolabial folds.

You want to look younger but natural with Juvederm.

Hi. It's certainly possible to completely erase nasolabial folds with Juvederm, and in New York City, we sometimes do that. But you have to be very careful not to look puffy or mask-like. It depends on your anatomy.

Juvederm to Correct the Nasolabial Folds (Parentheses Lines)

As your face begins to age, the soft tissue and skin starts to descend. These changes accentuate your nasolabial folds (parentheses lines), marionette lines, and jowls. Fillers such as Juvederm are an excellent way to help camouflage these wrinkles to give the face a more youthful appearance. Overfilling the folds is not a natural looking aesthetic as even small children have nasolabial creases. The goal is to look rejuvenated, rested, and youthful.

Completely filling nasolabial folds will create artificial look

You do not want to completely flatten the nasolabial folds. It will look very artificial. The reason the nasolabial fold occur is that the cheek fat drops down and this causes the nasolabial fold to deepen. If you try to fill the folds to the level of the cheek it will look very artificial.

Nasolabial fold prominence

It is difficult to get rid of the folds completely, unless they are very mild. Interestingly, it is difficult to get rid of even with a face lift. If you are happy with the result, but want even more gone, it is worth a try, but get realistic expectations from your doctor.
