I am 47 and quite thin. I have very stubborn static accordian lines. They aren't deep but very visible depending on the light! I've done CO2 twice and it did very little. What would be the next step here? I want a very natural look.

Answer: For Treating Static, Lower Cheek "Accordion Lines," Consider A Low Viscosity, Malliable, Cphesive HA Filler I have been treating this kind of problem for years with very gratifying results using a fanning injection technique for injecting a low viscosity, malleable, cohesive HA filler. Properly injected, this approach not only improves the static, I.e. at-rest, appearance of these type of lower face accordion lines (aka "parallel laugh lines"), but also serves to minimize their deepening with smiling. Although usually not necessary, this treatment can be followed by a series of superficial peels treatments for any residual static crinkling component using high concentrations of glycolic or salicylic acid, Jessner's Solution, or low concentrations of TCA. You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Best of luck.

Answer: Treating an aging face The lines you see in your face are there because your face has lost the great deal of volume. As a rule, the Laser will not do enough unless it is performed in a very aggressive manner. Just like a deflated balloon will smooth out when you fill it up, your face will do the same with fat grafting. When fat grafting is done properly, it should make you look 20 to 30 years younger without any scars and practically no signs of having had anything done. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman, M.D. organic Plastic Surgery NyYC
