Would a filler like Restylane Lyft help to lift my cheeks without adding too much volume?

Question

I have a lot of fullness around the mouth and lower face, yet my cheeks are already pretty large when I smile. Would a filler like Restylane Lyft help to lift the cheeks and reduce some of the low-face volume, or would it just create too much volume up top? Would filler directly into the nasolabial folds help at all? Thanks!

Lyft is the thickest of filler products. It can be very helpful properly used. Most injectors lack the skills to place this product well. Attempting to eliminate your nasolabial fold will not aesthetically help you. Less is more. You could have a little volume in the nasolabial fold but attempting to eliminate it is a mistake. Your real issue is that you have a midcheek groove. That is the relative goove in the cheek. That is where you need a small amount of volume. Finding the right injector continues to be a profound challenge.

Hi there,

Yes that would be very helpful.  You have a bit a flattening mid face and filler would a great option for you.

Best of luck!
