I am 46 . I have had fillers in my nasolabial folds for a few years now. Over the last year or so, I have noticed a line next to the fold..I am assuming it is loose skin or loss of muscle tone/. I use micro current nightly, radio frequency sometimes as well. What can I do to treat that area? Laser? Surgery? I am open to suggestions .
Answer: Instalift I would consider instalift, as your skin/face is thin and filler might look lumpy. These threads last about 2 years!

Answer: Laugh Lines / Nasolabial Folds - Fillers + Sculptra, Lasers like Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, Radiofrequency, Peels, Skin Care I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting, and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Treatment for lines around the mouth: Know your options Hello, and thank you for your question. It is a normal part of the aging process to have loss of volume in the face, especially in the lower area. You have several options to treat it and it will depend on your goals and how invasive of an approach you want to take. For a more conservative treatment, you can do a combination of Botox, fillers, laser and energy devices (including microneedling combined with RF energy - Profound RF). A combination of treatments can provide you with a better overall result. Another option would be a PDO threadlift –a non-surgical treatment that uses dissolvable sutures to lift tissue and tighten skin for a noticeably younger appearance. And for a more aggressive approach, you may opt for a mini facelift. A mini facelift is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure that’s less aggressive than a traditional facelift (rhytidectomy) or a neck lift with platysmaplasty. A mini facelift might be your best choice if you have early signs of aging, such as slight jowl formation and mild to moderate skin laxity. To learn more about your options and how you can benefit from each procedure, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can do a proper evaluation of your face, customize the best treatment plan for you, and ensure the best possible outcome.

Answer: Skin laxity There are several options to address your concerns. The best recommendation depends on how aggressive you want to be. You can consider Sculptra to give longer lasting results and more facial volume. FaceTite and Morpheus8 treatments can help tighten skin and improve overall skin tone and texture. A face lift will address the skin laxity surgically. I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you for a consultation to discuss your options.

Answer: Facial falls at 46 Your face is showing classical signs of aging with a loss of volume in terms of fat. Muscles actually do not get looser with age but considerably tighter as they do everywhere else on the body. In order for you to get rid of these folds you need to restore the volume in the face and the best way in my opinion is with the use of your own fat. Fat Grafting when perform by an expert Plastic Surgeon, creates natural and permanent results I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery
