Filling nasolabial folds without affecting smile?

April 5, 2017
Asked By:INMM in Boston, MA

Female age 36, willing to travel. Cheeks are very full, skin is great. However the malar fat has fallen down quite a bit. The descending fat has led to tear troughs and more prominent nasolabial folds. I'm worried that NL fold fillers will affect my smile. I see celebrities and women with restricted smiles. I have a big expressive smile and don't want it to change. Can I make the folds less prominent without affecting my smile?. BTW, Sculptra may be a problem due to autoimmune condition.
