Hello,
This is Dr. Hong from Seoul, Korea. After reviewing your picture, I’ve noticed two things:
First, there is some hollowness under your eyes (tear trough hollow), which is a very common issue. Significant improvement can be achieved through under-eye fat repositioning, a minimally invasive procedure that relocates your fat pads to their correct position. This will help smooth the under-eye area and reduce the hollowness.
While dermal fillers can also be an effective option, they are not permanent and, in some cases, may lead to puffiness or darkening over time.
Second, regarding your concern about the nasolabial folds, the angle of the photo makes it difficult to assess the exact cause. The issue could stem from either a lack of volume in the apple cheek area or cheek sagginess. Here's how we can address both possibilities:
If the issue is a lack of volume, I recommend fat transfer to the apple cheeks, nasolabial folds, and temples. This will smooth facial lines and give you a more youthful appearance.
If the problem is cheek sagginess&mdash;either due to excess fat or reduced skin elasticity&mdash;then the treatment will depend on the cause:
For sagginess, a minimally invasive lifting procedure is recommended.For excessive fat, mini liposuction can help contour the area.I hope this information assists you in making the best decision for your treatment.
Warm regards,Dr. Hong

Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial fold fillers are effective in reducing the appearance of deep smile lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm Ultra Plus or Restylane, are commonly used for this area and can provide results lasting from 6 months to 2 years.

Dark Circles and Under Eye Area
For the under eye area, fillers like Restylane or Belotero are often recommended due to their lower risk of complications such as swelling and bruising. The cannula technique is preferred to minimize these risks.

It is important to address the volume loss in the cheeks and midface, as this can contribute to the appearance of dark circles and under eye bags. Adding volume to these areas can provide better support for the under eye fillers.

Procedure and Recovery
The procedures are generally quick, taking around 30 minutes or less, and may involve the use of a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Recovery is typically minimal, with some mild swelling, redness, or bruising that subsides within a few days.

Choice of Filler
For the under eye area, Restylane is often preferred over Juvederm due to its lower hydrophilic nature, which reduces the risk of prolonged swelling.

Consultation
It is crucial to have a consultation with an experienced practitioner to discuss your concerns and determine the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

From the submitted photo you appear to be a good candidate for fillers.  They can add volume and define facial contours. Depending on your treatment goals two to four syringes will give you a nice improvement.  In addition we recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day to keep skin youthful and healthy.
