Cheek Implants and Nasolabial Folds

Cheek implants will have little effect on the Nasolabial folds. Implants will give you volume to the middle third of your face and can create an excellent aesthetic result but don't expect your laugh lines to resolve. The implants can move if contacted hard enough but it would really require a lot of force. They should not move (once they are healed) from incidental contact.

Cheek implants work well at enhancement of the cheeks and lift the Nasolabial folds. One way to preview what a cheek implant would look like for you is to try a filler first. Radiesse, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Sculptra and Perlane can all be used to fill in this area and give you an idea of what an implant might do for your Nasolabial folds.
Certainly the implant is different than the fillers and can become mispositioned if contacted hard before it heals in to position as well as require some additional filler to obtain an optimal result. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
