Nasolabial folds appear more prominent after filler, should I expect them to return to normal after filler wears off?

Thank you for your question. It sounds like you are experiencing some unintended effects from your filler treatment. Given that the Belotero has already worn off and you are noticing changes in your nasolabial folds, it is possible that the remaining Youthfill is contributing to the current appearance of your folds.

When fillers are not placed deeply enough or are unevenly distributed, they can sometimes create or accentuate lines and folds in the face. Since you mentioned that pressing on your cheek area temporarily normalizes the appearance of your nasolabial folds, it is likely that the effects you are seeing are due to the presence of the remaining Youthfill.

As the Youthfill continues to dissolve and be metabolized by your body, your nasolabial folds should gradually return to their pre-filler state. This process can take several months, depending on how quickly your body processes the filler.

If you’re concerned about the current appearance and do not want to wait for the filler to dissolve naturally, you might consider consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or injector who can evaluate your situation and possibly use hyaluronidase to dissolve the remaining filler more quickly.

Remember, it’s essential to choose an experienced and skilled injector to avoid such complications in the future.
