Early sign of sagging face and nasolabial folds at the age of 30

You likely need a combination approach with lasers, fillers, skin care and skin tightening.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello! You are still quite young and it is most likely that filler will help your folds, which do tend to deepen with age. I would recommend that you consult with a facial plastic surgeon to evaluate options, and don't forget to protect your skin with sunscreen!

Thank you for your question. Without a full series of photographs it is difficult to offer you the best treatment recommendation as it may require a multidimensional approach - improvement in hydration, initiation of a good skin care regimen, lifestyle modification with improved sleep, filler placement into cheeks, or filler placement into nasolabial folds. See a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation. They can best help advise you.

Nasolabial folds can appear at your young age either as a result of significant weight loss and / or genetic factors, assuming your skin is normal. Unfortunately, there are no photographs of your face to view.  I would recommend treatment with a robust hyaluronic acid filler such as Juvederm Ultra Plus or Restylane Lift (that can resist the forces on the filler from smiling, better than other fillers). There may also be some benefit from injection of Juvederm Voluma in the upper cheeks, close to the lower eyelid and cheek bone. Please see a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, dermatologic surgeon or an esthetic plastic surgeon for an evaluation to determine where the problem lies and the best treatment or combination of treatments for you. I don't think laser treatments or Thermage will provide as good a result as the right fillers. Best,Renuka Diwan,MD

The first line treatment for heavy nasolabial folds are a robust filler such as Juvederm UP XC or Restylane Lift®.
