Can a filler be used to augment the Labiomental fold? (Photos)

Question

Hello Drs of RealSelf! With age, I am noticing a deepening of my labiomental fold. Rather than endure a painful surgical chin advancement, I'd like to opt for fillers for this area to straighten my chin on the profile view, as shown in the before/after morph of myself. I've seen plenty of chin augmentations with fillers, but not much to the actual sulcrus area. Can fillers be used or are there too many nerves in that area?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Careful placement of a hyaluronic acid dermal filler, such as Juvederm, can help fill the labiomental crease.  I would recommend seeing an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation.  Hope this helps.

Daniel Krochmal, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes, fillers can be placed into the fold to help soften the lip/chin transition.  I recommend consulting with an experienced plastic surgeon injector for a discussion of your filler options.Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL

The answer is yes. Fillers can be used and work well. We have an expert injector who proposes the best way to achieve your goals and discuss them with our patients. The best will be to examine you in person and then create a treatment plan.

Hello, and thanks for your question. Yes, a hyaluronic acid filler can be used (off-label) to augment the labiodental fold. In order to determine the best treatment plan for you, I recommend an in-person consultation with an expert. Best of luck, Dr. Frucht.
