Can you help with deep nasolabial fold on right side of face?

Genius611524Aug 5, 2021
Hi I'm 52 and for many years had a deep Nasolabial fold on my right side, whilst generally considered youthful looking for my age. It affects my confidence immensely, once described as if I had a stroke :-( I'm wondering if treatment could help. Thing is if I hold down the fold with my finger and move slightly towards my nose it helps massively, or puff up a touch from inside the mouth. My muscle seems to be pulling it upwards making it worse. Please can you help.

The morphed image you are showing is a combined infraorbital rim to premaxillary-paranasal augmentation. A LeFort I osteotomy is not going to affect the infraorbital rim although it will make the upper lip more pronounced. Conversely a midface mask implant will bring the whole midface forward...

You can do botox around the mouth but you risk changing the shape. fillers, threads, and morpheus treatment can help improve the look. otherwise the only option is nerve surgery which also has risks. Fillers is an easy non invasive option to give some improvement. Best, Dr. Emer.
