Tags: face

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.

Nasolabial folds with Juvederm

Taking them away completely could possibly make you look unnatural. Sometimes the nasolabial folds are not the only problem, you may want to take a look at the fullness of your cheeks. So have an open mind and listen to your physician.

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.

Filling of the nasolabial smile folds with Juvederm

Can one erase the smile folds compelely with filler, and should you? There are cases where the fold can be made flush with the surrounding skin contour but this may not be a natural look for you. Babies are born with smile folds but no one says they look old. That's because they have a healthy full cheek. If you've lost volume of the mid cheek this will make the fold hang over the smile fold. Once the mid cheek volume is corrected, you may be less unhappy with your smile fold. It is not... more

Nasolabial folds

Hi, Yes it is possible to fill in the nasolabial folds completely. However it all depends on how deep your folds are in the first place. Probably a better option for Nasolabial folds is Radiesse. It has more filling power. Best, Dr.S.

Avoid the "Monkey" look

If you are over 20, t is not natural to have no nasolabial folds. You are looking at airbrushed, photoshopped magazine pictures too much. People with high cheek bones look the best, and you will always see some drop off with that bone structure. In fact, most nasolabial patients do best with less in the fold directly, and more in the cheeks to give a natural lift. I feel you want the product in the top 3rd of the fold to soften it, and then the rest in the cheeks. If you put too much in the... more

Juvederm and Nasolabial Folds, Do You Want to Look Good, or Like Marge Simpson?

Hi Toberlone, You can look your best, or you can look like cartoon character Marge Simpson.It is possible to totally obliterate the nasolabial folds in the majority of people if enough filler is used. Just because it is possible is no reason to do it if it makes you look "funny". Look at children, teens, and photos of yourself when you looked your best. There is always a nasolabial fold present, maybe not deep, but it is there. Without nasolabial folds you will run the risk of... more

Complete erasure of nasolabial folds using Juvederm

In general, the shallower the folds, the easier it is to completely fill them. If the folds are very deep, you may need filling higher in the midface/upper cheek area combined with a midface lift. It depends on your anatomy.
