I have an appointment for nasolabial Juvaderm injections tomorrow. However I now see recommendations mentioning fillers to the cheekbones that would produce a similar "lifting" effect. This was not an option offered to me when I had my consultation. Where are the fillers more beneficial, nasolabial folds or cheeks? I don't want to make the wrong decision and flaw my face even further...

Answer: Dermal Fillers in the cheeks versus the nasolabial folds Dermal fillers can be safely injected into both the nasolabial folds and cheek regions. As we age, we lose volume in the face especially in the cheek region. When this occurs the cheeks flattened and sag and will lead to deepening of the nasolabial folds. In reviewing your pictures, you have volume loss in the cheek region. I think injections into the cheek regions to lift, angulate, and defined your cheeks would give use appear result it would be "prettier". I generally prefer to inject the cheek region over the nasolabial folds. If after injecting the cheek region you still feel the nasolabial folds are deep, you may choose to inject dermal fillers in that region at a later date.I hope this helps

Answer: Filling Cheeks vs. Folds Hello,Based on your photos, I would recommend filler to the cheek area. This would help "fill in" the area of your cheek that lies underneath your eyes and a bit toward the curve of your cheek, known as the ogee curve, where you are just showing the beginnings of some flattening. It is likely that filling these areas alone will alleviate the nasolabial folds to your satisfaction and also create a tighter looking jawline. I hope your procedure goes well.
