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

Question

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.

Thank you for your question. It is very common for people to have asymmetry of their face, with one nasolabial fold that is deeper or more pronounced than the other. We see this very commonly in our practice. Commonly, we use dermal fillers and botox injections to help restore some of the symmetry to the face. I recommend consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to further discuss your aesthetic goals and options. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photos. It appears you might be a good candidate for injectable treatments, whether some well-placed dermal filler, a bit of neuromodulator to relax facial muscles, or a combination of the two. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced, qualified injector who has the expertise and skill to pinpoint the cause of your concern and provide the best possible treatment.
