Bellafill at 20 years old? At I too young?

Question

I received a buccal fat removal two years ago because I've always had fuller cheeks, it's genetic from my mother. Since then, I've noticed my nasolabial folds have become slightly more prominent. Would it be appropriate to receive Bellafill to reduce their appearance or am I too young? Would a cheek or partial face lift be recommended instead? I'm looking for a longer lasting filler and/or a permanent solution. I'm 20.

folds can be treated with fillers, threads and morpheus.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules weekly, see linkt) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.

Bellafill is not recommended for people under 21 years of age. We would suggest you wait until you are 21 to have a consultation for Bellafill treatments to your nasolabial folds. Bellafill is treatment which the results can last up to 5 years and would be a good non-surgical solution to help with your features. A Bellafill injection treatment is not an immediate result but will help improve the area over a period of a few months. It is great that you want to look as best as possible and we wish you the best of luck in your decisions.
