What to do about deep nasolabial folds and low cheeks? (Photos)

October 21, 2023
Asked By:guntherddr in Paris, Île-de-France, France

I am 22 and have deep nasolabial folds. I feel they ge me tremendously and really change my face. I wonder if the reason they are so deep has anything to do with the fact that my cheeks don’t extend to my outer face? I feel like they start quite low, it is more visible when I smile, and it’s been like this since I was a child. It’s like my cheeks are halved. Would fat transfer to the folds work? And if I wanted fuller cheeks would fat transfer hold on upper cheeks or do I lack the structure?
