Hello, I'm in my 20's and I've started to notice some fine nasolabial folds that weren't there before. I recently lost some weight and also fixed my teeth (I had veneers added to my upper teeth and they somewhat affected the way my mouth looks). Since I'm still young and the lines are not that deep, I was looking to avoid fillers and some other invasive or surgical treatments. Are there any options for a case like mine?

Answer: Very mild NLF Thank you for your question. It is normal to have some demarcation in the nasolabial fold area. If you look closely at childrens' faces you will learn that many of them have it too. If it bothers you, and you are not interested in injectable fillers, then perhaps try a really good skin regimen. You might look into a hyaluronic acid product to plump the skin. I do not believe that you'll get a dramatic change unless you opt for injectable fillers. But, I don't think you need it. Be well-

Answer: Nasolabial folds While fillers can work well to add volume to the nasolabial folds, a young person such as yourself can also get some benefit by improving skin quality. I recommend meeting with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss options such as retinols/ tretinoins (topical vitamin A derivative that regulates skin exfoliation) and resurfacing (microneedling, lasers, peels, etc.). It's a very good idea to optimize the appearance of your skin and keep it looking its healthiest and best with regular sunblock use, healthy diet, good hydration, and other great skin habits. Good luck!
