Is it common to still need filler in your nasolabial folds after SMAS or Deep Plane Facelift?

February 5, 2022
Asked By:RealSelfMember090098 in Anaheim, CA

Hello! It's been 18 months since my surgery and my neck is already falling. My nasolabial folds are coming back as well. I know that I am continuing to age, but I feel like it's too soon after surgery to see these changes and need filler? Would a deep plane facelift correct these issues longer? What are realistic expectations? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
