Hello! I am a 32-year-old woman who has previously tried tear trough/mid cheek fillers due to facial volume loss which has been building up gradually since my teens. I work long hours and sleep on the L side of my face which is starting to translate in the form of pronounced nasolabial folds (L more than R).
