How long does it take on average to see the final result of filler in nasolabial folds? (Photos)

Most of the improvement you saw was likely from the swelling after the injection. It takes a couple of weeks for the filler to fully settle in. It looks like you would benefit from more product. Fortunately, adding more is much easier than taking away too much that was given. If you trust your injector then you can have them add more filler. Best wishes.

It can take 1-2 weeks for final results. I recommend waiting a full two weeks before assessing results and whether you want a touch-up. Best, Dr. Emer

For all intents and purposes, the fill effect is immediate. There can be a little swelling and occasionally bruising that needs to settle after a service. When you are not sure about a service, there is no substitute for reviewing before and after picture. When you get filler, you are asking your injector to sculpt your face.  Some injectors are pretty good at this. A rare injector is amazing but most are mediocre. The product you get also makes a big difference.  The original Restylane is a fantastic product for the nasolabial fold. However, there are other members of the Restylane family are more like products in the Juvederm family.  I would include Restylane silk, Restylane Refyne and Defyne.  These are formulated as "smooth" fillers.  Smooth is a marketing term for runny. Injectors like runny fillers because lumps and bumps they make go away.  The problem is that these products lack the tissue lift of the original formulation of Restylane. That means these smooth fillers spread out after injection and end up in places that were not originally injected and the area where you need the help the most looks under treated.  The solution is to see an injector who understands the difference in these products and is a very good sculptor.  

Thank you for your question! It can take 1-2 weeks for final results. I recommend waiting a full two weeks before assessing results and whether you want a touch-up. Best of luck! 

The Nasolabial Folds are the transition zone between the cheek and mouth and are a common complaint of patients. The aesthetic goal is to "soften" the fold and not to completely eliminate it as this would make the face look unnatural. It is likely that the improvement you saw immediately following injection was from swelling. It typically takes 5-10 days for the swelling to subside revealing your final result. If you feel that you liked the result that you had initially after the injection better than the result you have now, you may want to consider having another injection to add additional volume to the folds. 

First you don't have high grade NL folds which is good but you did only have 1 syringe which is a tattoo of 1cc divided among 2 sides. The most powerful results would be with a syringe per side.the HA fillers for the most part absorb water thus after the initial injection there is swelling that resolves in a few days to 2 weeks which is around the peak time for the water absorption. Thus most patients notice the final result at the 2-3 week mark

Hello and thank you for your question. Remember, it can take up to 14 days to see the final results. With that said, during your procedure you may have had some swelling which made the lines appear fuller with greater correction. If your pictures are showing your final result then you may just need an additional 1-2 syringes to achieve your aesthetic goal. Follow-up with your injector for further evaluation.

The results of filler are immediate.  However, it takes a full 2 weeks to see final results.  After 2 weeks the swelling and bruising will have resolved.  I recommend a comparison of before and after photos and a consultation with your doctor or board certified injector.  Sometimes, it is hard for us to notice subtle changes because you see yourself everyday.  At the consultation you and your doctor will be able to determine if more filler is needed for your best results.
