Fat transfer to face made nasolabial folds worse - what can be done to correct this? (Photo)

Question

Hello, what can be done to correct these severe nasolabial folds I developed after jaw surgery? I tried fat transfer to face but I think it made it worse.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

In my opinion, the best treatment for nasal labial folds is with fillers. Fillers are precise, predictable, and quite forgiving. Fat transfer is not particularly good. Forgiving volume in very small, precise areas. It works better for giving diffuse overall volume. Facelift is not a good treatment for just nasal label folds and can make your folds deeper. This is particularly true if someone has a SMAS type facelift.I suggest finding one of the most talented filler providers in your community and try that.
Best,
