Tags: nasolabial folds, under eyes

Hi, I am 38 years old and have under my eyes and a rather visible nasiolabial fold.

Filling the eye area would not be enough to start with, but perhaps be needed after the injection of the subq filler. I would like to ask you if this sounds plausible. Thanks in advance.

Under eye hollows and smile folds corrected by filllers

Restylane subQ is more viscous than Restylane and might create an overcorrected appearance even if it is injected below the plane of the muscle. It is a good filler for the smile creases. I would prefer Restylane or Juvederm for the under eye hollows.

Filler for Nasolabial Fold

I like perlane or radiesse for prominent nasolabial folds.  The radiesse goes a long way and stays around longer. Restylane is a better option for the tear trough and the lips. Hope that helps.
